"Is God a wicked, cruel God?", someone asked. He
said, "Everywhere you turn suffering and misery seems to reign strongly in
this world. If God is so good why is he not helping all those suffering people
in the world? Why does he act like a heartless, cold God who only cares about
himself?" Here's what someone replied, "Pretty much yes. Christians
can't explain why he's too lazy to help everyone and why he's always mad at
someone in the bible. That's why I stopped reading the bible, it's such a
violent book."
It's so easy to blame God for all the problems of the world,
after all, He's all powerful and He is love. He should do something about
everything. He should destroy all the wicked people immediately and make the
world a better place. We want God to do all that, yet man continues to make
choices contrary to His will; men continues to yield themselves to Satan and
curse God daily; men have refused to accept His offer of salvation; despite all
we do, we want Him to override our actions; we don't want to be responsible at
all.
The LORD is upright, and there's no wickedness in Him!
(Psalm 92:15). His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God
who does no wrong, upright and just is He (Deuteronomy 32:4). He does no wrong.
Day by day He hands down justice, and He does not fail (Zephaniah 3:5). He is a
faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those
who love Him and keep His commandments (Deuteronomy 7:9). Hallelujah!
