“Can you solve the mysteries of God? Can you discover
everything about the Almighty? Such knowledge is higher than the
heavens—and who are you? It is deeper than the underworld—what do you know?" (Job 11:7,8 NLT)
Age-old
questions that man is still trying to answer and because there are some
things that no one can explain--many have said, "There is no God!"
Why
does God allow this happen? Why does God allow that to happen? Why are
there starving people in the world? Why are there wars? Why do children
suffer? Where was God when all the negative things in the world
happened?
Instead of trying to waste brain
power and time in explaining the "whys or why nots" of God's allowance
of things, I've determined there is one simple answer--I agree with God!
No, I don't know everything and I'm in good company--neither does anyone else! But this one thing I do know--God knows and the last time I checked, He doesn't owe anyone an explanation for anything since He created all things--on His own--without consulting us.
What
He has done--for our benefit--is to speak to those who were willing to
listen and record what He said. Even though some think The Word is a
book of fiction, they have yet not been able to deny the authenticity of
actual segments of history. For this reason, scientists are always
trying to disprove something in the bible only to discover they were
wrong and God is right.
Pride truly is a terrible thing when we allow it get in the way of receiving God's blessings.
Only those with so much pride in their own limited knowledge of what
they have discovered--will never see what God has truly planned for
them. If we stop wasting our time in trying to determine the whys and
just accept what He has done and is doing for all those who love Him,
our time would be better served in accomplishing all that He wants us to
do!
So, I don't have any more answers
about why God does or allows things than anyone else, but I have
decided--rather than question Him--I'll simply agree with Him and enjoy life and His many blessings!
