What Do Swollen Ankles Indicate

When God is asleep (re-edition)

Who among us has not been at times a complex situation, personal conflicts, family, work, illness, loss or otherwise.
Who has not ever wondered how to solve or find solutions to various problems that we have to face?
live in a world where injustice, fraud, evil and many other ills are the currency, currency that we see reflected in our day to day in the media, our neighborhoods, schools, homes, etc.

Who knows, which is the situation today we disturbs sleep, which takes away the peace, and does not allow us to enjoy that feeling as often desired but rarely achieved: Peace.

The question that often remains unanswered, not knowing how to solve, and because we have to face these situations to us, almost instinctively arises: Where is God? If there was I should not be living this or another situation, why me?
It would be hypocritical on our part, not recognizing that perhaps at some point in our life we \u200b\u200bhave reconsidered this unknown.

The unanswered question, many times leads to a crisis of faith, which respects cultural upbringing, tradition, and good teaching, let alone when the problems we tie a rope around our neck.
I think beyond any religious culture, Jews, Christians, Muslims and even agnostics, everyone at some point we have done to us, simply because it is a question that is in a very grounded. "Where is God?
At times it seems that does not exist, or that their agenda is so complicated as to be able to meet each of our needs.
By the way, I would like to confront these logical thought with a passage from the Bible which tells what Jesus and his friends lived in a atardecer.Jesús told his friends:
"Let the other side of the lake" then went to sail together. Suddenly there arose a great storm, with wind so strong that the waves falling on the small boat, so that was filled with water.
But Jesus was asleep in the back of the boat.

Seeing this limit, the friends of Jesus began to despair, and more yet seeing that he was sleeping, resting on a pillow, very comfortably.
Then I woke up and said, "Teacher! Do not you care that we are World?
Jesus arose and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Hush! Be still! "The wind ceased, and everything was completely calm.
Then he said to his disciples: "Why are you so afraid?, You still do not trust me?" But they were full of fear, and they asked each other: Who is this who even wind and sea obey him?

personally believe that God, in more than one occasion is not one of those issues where not involved, He is always, but sometimes seem to sleep amid the storm bigger than we expected going very cavalierly that we get up and tell you:
Do not you care that we are sinking? My simple opinion is, that God never runs the ship of your life, unless you voluntarily hand over the helm.
He wants to become great in your life and give the order to the storms that rise against you to cool off and disappear.

I'll be redundant
in my expressions. This does not follow the path of religion, nor of the magic formulas able to solve everything, but to establish a personal relationship with a real God, capable of engaging in your life as you have no idea whatsoever.
This is time to turn against all logic that you want to sink, and also time to trust someone who is willing to calm your storm, to give salvation and inner peace. This is your time, this is your time! I conclude this reflection, an expression of desire, and this is that very soon you change the question from the start by the latter:

Who is this whom even wind and sea obey him?
