Only God is dependable
Man expects God to answer his every desire and wish. He does not understand that he is bound by the law of Karma and that he is reaping what he himself had sown in his earlier life or in his previous birth(s). God is like the father who helplessly watches His child committing mistake after mistake and then paying for those mistakes. God tries to help by giving the right advice.

We all are traveler of the path of old karma and suffering at some stage in our lives. We whine and grumble endlessly at even the slightest suffering we go through. We say, “Oh, what a big trial! I am unable to bear this. With whom can I share my tears and mental agony?

The Holy Bible, Hebrews 6:18 prophesies that God never lies, nor does He ever break an unconditional promise. God is so true that anyone who seeks Him sincerely finds Him. So the problem lies not with God but with us. We not only lack the sincere faith in Him but also we don’t abide by His wishes and therefore we are unable to enjoy the gifts that faith in God brings.
