Ecclesiastes 3:11
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
God is not to blame. He created everything beautiful and will again in His time.......
I hear so many people say, "If there is a God, why would He allow sickness and pain? Why does He allow babies to be deformed or die? Why doesn't He create a cure for cancer? I can go on and on with even the questions I use to have, but I'm going to turn the question around. Why didn't we, and still don't today, listen to the Creator of the universe from the beginning of creation?
It's plain and simple, we want it our way. Most of us live for our own selfish desires. So we can keep burying our heads in the sand, or we can bury it in the Word of God. See the truth that Jesus tells us about this world being Satan's world.
God has always given us free will. He won't force us to believe or love Him, it has always been a choice. Unfortunately, the foolish choices some people make affect innocent ones, and the unborn yet to come.
God's Sovereignty is a stumbling block not just to unbelievers, but also to believers at times. I now say "dig deeper." Go deeper in your relationship with the Creator of the heavens and of the earth. Genesis 1:1.
God is still in control even though evil and suffering are continuing here on earth. The Christian answer that the human mind can't understand is that we are called to have faith in God's goodness and love. This is not the end, it is not our eternal home. Pain, sickness, evil that continues, is now a constant reminder to me that this is not my home. There is a great thirst this world can never satisfy.
All the sickness, diseases, cancers, and the evil that continues here is what man has made it, and is still making it, instead of letting God make them. God created a perfect world, Genesis 1: 24-31. On the sixth day He created animals to fill the earth, and man and women to care for it and to have a relationship with Him. God supplied All that was good, read verses 29-31 carefully.
Then Genesis chapter 2 comes, verses 15-17. Only one tree God asked them not to eat from. They had everything but wanted more. God said, "Do not eat from the tree of knowledge".... All God wanted from the beginning of time, and we still can't get it right today is, obedience. God provides us with everything, most importantly His Living Word to guide us. Life is an exercise of choices. Better said, free will with rewards for choosing to obey, and sad consequences for choosing to disobey.
Look what man is doing to our foods. Injecting our meats with all kind of preservatives and hormones. Fake sugar, salt, butter....what happened to just sticking to all the real stuff? Pills to prevent pregnancy, pills to abort a pregnancy, and pills to get pregnant. People who want the perfect bodies and taking all kinds of supplements and steroids to get it. I can go on and on, now where do you think cancer and disease is coming from? Do you really think God is to blame?... CHOICES; we are all free to make the right or wrong one.
We live in a money hungry greedy world, that has created uncontrollable sickness and diseases for us to endure in this lifetime. People should be more important than products, but it sure doesn't look that way to me. People's lives should always be considered above making money, tell that to sex traffickers and prostitution. Unfortunately many people, businesses, and governments are often based on greed, money, and power. The sad thing is, the consequences of their wrong choices hurt, and even kill the innocent ones. God gives us great warning and insight in Revelation 18: 1-10, for us to have nothing to do with this sinful behavior. There is also great peace found from all of this in Revelation 21: 4 "God will wipe away every tear from their eyes....There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."
So if you have many questions because of the things you are still seeing to continue here on earth, I pray you dig deeper. The answers are in His Word along with peace. Spend time with Jesus, He is worth more than anything money can buy.
Man, with all his greed and selfish desires, has been the ongoing reason why this world is falling--- Again read Revelation 18 !!
We need to pray for each other, and ourselves. Ask God for serenity, patience, courage, and wisdom. In our weakness He can still shine!
God will again one day make everything beautiful.... In His time.
