Hello everyone, I recently had someone tell me that they did not understand why bad things happened. They were speaking about something that happened in their life personally that affected our family when they made the comment. I heard this person say, “Well God is in control, why didn’t He stop that?”
I want to address that today. For
the most part, God is not in control in our world today. There is going to come a time when Jesus
returns and then God will be in complete control. But right now, we are in control of what we
allow and what we don’t in our lives.
Think about it. If God is in control, He is really bad at
running the world. As a matter of fact, He
isn’t very good at just running the city where I live. Everyday, people die here from murder. People steal and do other bad things. Our country is even worse because of all the
bad things that happen. There are wars
that kill people. If I was God and I was
running the world, I wouldn’t want to put my name on it.
God can only operate where we allow Him
to do so. God is not going to just come into your life and make
everything OK. The Bible says the God works all things for good but that doesn’t
mean we sit back and do nothing and “poof” God makes it all better. How many
people reading this are struggling? God can take control of things were we
let him. But he can’t control things that we don’t.
The reason bad things happen on this
earth, is because there is a real devil that still has control of part of this
earth. And he does bad things to people all the time. God allows this because
he is not in control of all the earth. He owns it but he’s not in control of
all of it. I have complete ownership of a company. But I don’t control
everything that goes on in our company.
I need to add this – God doesn’t make anyone sick. 1 Peter 2:24 says that by Jesus stripes we
were healed. The devil puts sickness and
disease on people – not God!
I
know this is going to sound strong, but the truth is it’s our job to take the
weapons that God has given us and drive the devil out of our life. The devil is
not going anywhere on his own. We have to drive him out using God’s power.
If you are reading this and you don’t know Jesus, I would like
to take this opportunity to introduce you to my friend Jesus. Would you like a
personal relationship with Him? All you have to do is pray this simple prayer.
Say, “Jesus, come into my life. I make you my Lord and Savior.” If you prayed
that prayer, I believe you got born into the family of Christ. The Bible says
that Jesus will always be with you. He wants a relationship with you.
If you prayed, would you please leave a comment saying, “I
prayed”. We would love to know you did.
