3. We need to understand that life can be very tough, unfair, and unjust, but God loves us, controls everything in His creation, and always work things out for our greatest good.
God is NOT a genie in a bottle. Yes, God controls all things, but because He gives all of mankind a free will to do as he pleases, the door for evil to manifest itself has been opened. His children are obliged to seek His will rather than stumble thru life on their own. Your battles are not your own. God, in the person of the Holy Spirit, enables you to avoid evil and/or withstand it if it takes place.
Do some believers die unexpectedly. Yes. That can be seen as the product of a dark, and sin-sick world. If God stopped all evil from taking place then what would be the point of giving us a free will. With that free will many enter into situations they have no business getting into, but our curiosity is our downfall. Do we not trust God? He’s not trying to keep us from having fun, but think about the things we want to do for fun. Some are innocent and some cross a line into the danger zone. God allows it because we insist by our actions.
No matter what transpires in our lives, in the end as you look back over your life, you should see that everything worked out just as God planned it. He won’t interfere with any consequences a person may have won as a prize for a possible misstep, but even then I believe God shows us mercy. Know your Bible. Try to understand how God operates. Trust Him implicitly and without hesitation. Your reward shall come in the end. Until next time, walk with the King & be a blessing.
In His Name and for His Glory,
