Human Havoc and the Perfect Plan

We often, very often, question our loving God and His sovereign plan when we see suffering and catastrophes happen without interference. If He is all-powerful, and the Creator of all things, how can it still be possible that He is loving when He allows small children to be starving in third-world countries, and death to be rampant? Something about this picture of God seems wrong to our eyes, this much must be admitted.
And the question soon surfaces: Why doesn’t He stop the suffering? Why does He allow death and wickedness? Why, God, WHY?!
This question is very common, especially among unbelievers. This is the reason they take as the basis for their atheism.

And the real answer to this question is as blunt and respectless to man, as this question is to God: Why should God care about us in the first place? What right do we have to be so important, and a priority on God’s schedule? We, as a tiny, insignificant race of sinners, do not deserve anything. Nothing at all. Evil and sin entered into the new universe God created for us, when the first man and woman chose to disobey the rules God set down to protect us. God is definitely not responsible for the wrong choices of man, and to expect Him to repair them, and stop the man-made catastrophes is absurd.

Secondly, since when are we humans allowed to judge God? He has already told us that His ways aren’t our ways. And that His thoughts are not our thoughts! What looks wrong to us is just the wrong side of the picture. We are looking up at God’s plan, His intricate tapestry from the underside, wondering what God uses the dark threads of pain and death. They are for a purpose; they make the whole masterpiece more beautiful in the end, so when others look at it from the real side, they see the amazing work of your life, and glorify Him.

Lastly, God sends His precious only Son, to die for us. For the humans who destroyed his perfect earth that He made just for our existence and enjoyment so long ago. He loves us so much; so much. The only, the best way He could show His love for us was to sacrifice His most precious possession: the holy, perfect Son, to save us from the sin that was creating the havoc in our lives. Can you imagine a more difficult gift to present to us?
The single things He asks of us, is to trust Him. To love Him in return, by giving Him our own lives back to Him in service. He has no use of us, we are so small and ineffective, and yet He still does want to use us in His special plan. He even wants us to come to live in the perfect universe eventually, where He has freed all inhabitants of suffering and pain--- even death, if we can let ourselves be his instruments in this life. This short vapor of time. The rules He sets are not unfair, and not difficult to understand. Man wants more proof of God’s love, more interference with that sin-induced trouble, yet they aren’t willing to take that short step of blind faith to follow Him. Even though He has promised that freedom they desire, and even perfect happiness here on earth to those who are entirely in love with Him.

Humans are so sightless, thinking that they know everything, and already holding the key to life. Take a step back from yourself, view God for who He is---- enormous, unfathomable, and greatly to be praised---- and then decide if His plan is unplanned, or perfectly orchestrated by that loving God who wants to know you personally.
You decide.
