WHY???
We all have questions, from the time we
started thinking and talking. A small kid has a question. A young person has a
question, and an old man has a question. Regardless of our age, status and wealth,
we all have a question. Questions are in fact a good practice for it seeks
clarification. There is difference between question and doubt as a Christian;
because a doubt may shake your faith whereas the question clarifies and enables
growth in faith.
Today I am here with this short piece about
Why God would allow this to happen if He really loves the world as said in John
3:16. Well, to make myself clear, I may not have the perfect answer to this
question but I want to share few things that has kept me growing in faith. The situation
seems to be getting harder and harder for the world to sustain. The state of
mind is worsening day by day, the health of many people is deteriorating each
day, and the number of deaths is rising every day. It seems the condition is
out of control. Why would such a loving God allow His people to go through this
hard time? It is really saddening to see a friend quarantined, it is
disheartening to know a daughter kept in isolation and very painful to know
that a family has lost its member. Some may be crying out where our God is?
Let us go through the Bible, “Why should
the Gentiles say, ‘Where is their God?’ But out God is in heaven; He does
whatever He pleases.” Psalms 115:2-3. My dear friends, human has gone so far
that they have forgotten that there exist an uncreated being, who is
self-existing, who made us, so called God. Harrari in one of his books, Homo
Deus says that immortality humans are trying to upgrade themselves into gods;
god of biological engineering, cyborg engineering and engineering of
non-organic being. They say they will one day make living possible even more
then hundreds of years. They already are capable of transplanting hearts,
operating the organ and even to the extent that they can do surgery of a person
at some other places. It is their foremost strive to make people live long or
make living better. They say nothing is impossible with man.
The second strive of the world is
Happiness. Everyone runs after happiness, all wants to have a pleasure, be
joyful and enjoy rest of the time they have. Even Bible talks about being
joyful in the book of Philippines, but the world has gone so far that they are
blinded to see the boundary set by God. Parents these days says to their
children, “Do whatever you want, but you be happy always.” And to acquire a
little bit of happiness and satisfaction, they go to the extent of breaking the
laws, taking revenge, and trying smoking and drinking. These days, the robbery
has no limits, murders are everywhere, rape has become a normal issue, theft
has become a job and lying, a business.
What do we do now? How can we bring back
the people who has lost their way? Can we take them out from the trap of
endless desires and evil works? Scripture says we are a pot, and our Father in
heaven is a potter. He molds us and makes us a pot He wants. “Oh house of
Israel” says the scripture, “can I not do with you as this potter does?
Declares the Lord, like clay in the hands of the potter, so are you in my hand,
oh house of Israel. If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdoms to be
uprooted, torn down and destroyed, and if the nation I warned repents of its
evil. Then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned.”
We still have a time to go back and strive
for righteousness, salvation and the truth. To whatever extend of success we
may achieve, we must not forget our Creator. God wants us to come to Him for
the strength, for hopes and for life. He wants to show us that He is the real
answer to the question the whole world is raising. It’s time for change,
instead of nothing is impossible with man, we must say everything is possible
with God. We must suppress down our pride and humble ourselves before God. We
need to bring back the human nature, that God implanted in us when He first
created us.
He hears us and I am sure, He will answer the prayers of the world, and prove that He is the Living God. So, back to the question, why would God allow us to face such situations? There is an old saying, “It’s the test of fire that makes fine steel.” And “The toughest steel is forged in the hottest fire.” God wants to make us tough, strong and bold in Him. We are just a clay in the hands of the Potter, He molds us and makes us, repairs us and prepares us for we know how He bends and not break. When the human effort comes to an end, they will show above, hope for miracle to happen, and pray deep inside their heart. That is the time when God will intervene to save the people of this world. People will then believe that there exist so called God, and this will bring glory to Him and the whole world will be restored in His Name. The struggle we are going now will be a small piece compared to the glory yet to receive.
