On Sufferings

God is Able. God is powerful, there is nothing he can't do. Then why he didn't take care of the poor, why suffering?

God is so powerful that he gives us freewill and freedom. Today we can freely choose and di things on our own way is because God has given that ability, this doesn't restrict God's power, but in fact shows us that there is nothing more powerful than God. Because it is for the one who has power can choose to give the Freewill.

So, what about all this injustices and evil that people choose to do. There could be more reasons why God choose the leave it.
1. Freedom - If God were to intervine, we can't do anything. So, God knows that we as humans can do mistakes. But his ultimate aim is for us to choose him and to surender to him alone.

Philippians 2:10-11 New International Version (NIV)

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
    to the glory of God the Father.

2. Chance - God is a God of choices. This verse from Peter gives us more sense.

2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

He gives us choices to choose him,

1st Timothy 3:4
who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

Jesus knows that we are weak and we do not understand.
When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people's hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong.

God's soverginity over humans is so great, he choose to give himself, his only son for us. How are we to know his will. In this complex world were we are filled with information. We are to discern and choose God's choice for our lives than our own plans.

Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice.


Ultimately it is for our good that he does. At times when the evil is so much contaminated he will wipe out everything. Like in the days of Noah or at the time of Lot. Yet he is so much compassionate and caring.
