Suffering is difficult but easier to bear if one understands that it does not occur by mere "chance" nor because God is impotent to do something about it nor to have foreseen it coming. If we truly believe in God's attributes...that He is Sovereign, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, Just, Love, etc... then we have to come to terms with the reality that He is in control. We live in a society that does not honor parents nor shows respect towards authority; we think we know best and know it all. This is one of the biggest reason we find it so very difficult to accept those things we do not understand and that seem unjust to us. We do not see nor know all. I pray that we humble ourselves more before circumstances humble us.<br /><br />I want to encourage you and thank you, Mr. White, for the time you spend in studying and edifying the church. It really helps people like me who really want to grow in the faith and need sources we can trust. I would like to also thank this wonderful radio program that airs quality material which feeds our minds and enlarges our understanding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
