It is not the will of God
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
The will of God for every human is peace, joy and happiness and not evil. This, He expressed through His love by creating the garden and providing everything man would ever need before creating Him.
This purpose and will was aborted when man disobeyed the only law given to maintain man's existence, sin came into the garden and death followed. Man began to experience suffering, hardship, hunger, bitterness, harsh weather, pain and among others
As much as God would not want man to suffer eternally after the physical death, He sent His only begotten Son to die for mankind and by His death man will be saved with God eternally.
Nevertheless, believers in Christ have come to the understanding that some things that happens in life are actually God's will.
Some things like when a Saint died, had an accident, failure in school, set backs, financial struggles, barrenness etc. Most of these cases are not actually God's will but a result of disobedience or sin, even though some are God's will.
In 2 Samuel 6:6 And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it. 6:7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
The Ark of God was being transported by the decree of King David, but at the moment the oxen shook, Uzzah put forth his hand to support it in other not to let it fall.. Because God has given a clear instruction that it must not torches the ground.
Also, Uzzar committed an offence to avert God's anger as he was not from the tribe of Levi. It was not the will of God for him to die but it was the error of the Levi who transported the ark of God on an oxen.
Moses was destined by God to lead the children of Israel to the land of canaan for not more than forty days but his journey was terminated when he was close to the finish line and the Israelite journeyed forty years. It was not God's will, but their disobedience.
Some people die untimely and we say it is the will of God, but the death came out of negligence, ignorance of their health and delay in getting help.
With what you are going through today, have you taken a second to examine and re-examine yourself, if they are God's will, or a result of sin or your disobedience?
If you are wrongly putting God's will in place of your disobedience; breakthrough, healing, deliverance and God's intervention in your situation may be far from you than expected.
Until Joshua fish out Achan who sinned in the camp and was punished before they could win the war against the people of Ai.
Although He takes us through some difficult paths to refine us to our better self, but not all difficulties we go through in life is as a result of His will.
