People were asking why didn’t God stop this tragedy. Why did he let this happen? We are back to the topic of why God allows pain and suffering again. My initial thoughts came with few questions. Have you ever lied? Have you ever stolen a cookie or two? Have you ever cheated in your exams? Have you ever fought some other kids to get the toy you want? Have you ever lied to get the position that you wanted in your job. Have you ever bad mouth somebody and spread out gossip? So my question is what if God stop you from having the freedom to choose what you wanted to do? Then you’ll say that this God is a cruel, controlling God.
You see we have a false concept of God. When we are in trouble we shout out to God, “Help God! Please help me!” Whatever issue that you might be facing or desperately in needs, you thought of asking God for help. Then you blame God if nothing works, tragedy happens, or your loved ones died from accident. God is not a genie in the bottle where you rub then he appears whenever you want. God is not controlled by you and at the same time He doesn’t control your free will.
Back to the question, why did God let the plane crash? God is not in the business of interrupt the nature. He created the nature that way, and it will stay that way. The nature of human beings crafty, deceitful, loving or compassion…etc. That nature of nature, human fault in making the plane, mistakes in maintain the plane and such. Back to human nature, human are deceitful and evil if men wanted to highjacked the plane for whatever reasons. Should God interrupt in every single detail in this process of nature? Then again, if He does there won’t be evil in the world. Because He dislike evil and will save everything; however, he cannot contradict himself. He cannot interrupt nature because human beings are not happy with what happened in the world today.
That nature of our lives on this earth? There will be suffering and pain. We will die no matter what. Of course you can stay healthy and strong and prolong your life, but you will surely die one day. Everyone of us has no exception. It’s a matter of die early or wait until we die at our old age. Instead of blaming God for what happen in this world today, why don’t we think of our purpose in this world? How about asking ourselves where are we going when we die? Ultimately, our lives are going to an end, and this is not within our control. Why not spend sometime to understand who this God is? There’s a deep desire to find truth and people are asking question. That question always came back to if God exist why didn’t/did He (do such)……?
I see the void in our souls and that need to be filled in a supernatural way. No money, love or sex in this world can fill this void. A human soul is thirst and longing for someone, or something to satisfy his needs. This is what we need to see, the void in our souls. It’s our human perspective that stop us from seeing the supernatural God. Yet, we human want to be in control. We want to be our own God and so whatever we want. See, we can’t play God. If we do, we’re fooling ourselves. The pride is blinding us, the greed is blinding us, the loneliness, the hurt, the pain…. the list can go on, we are blind in our spirit and we couldn’t see God. Unless, we are willing to be reached by God, God will not force us to believe in Him. Unless, we are seeking the truth, God’s truth will not be heard by the deaf. It’s only the willing hearts will see God. It’s only the humble will meet Him one day.
