Why Stuff Happens

After a tornado, hurricane, earthquake and all types of natural disasters there are so many questions.  “Why did this or that happen”?  So many people immediately start getting churched up about it and blame God for what happened.

I am not about to begin to get in a spiritual debate about how and why certain things happen and why some people are affected and some aren’t.  However, I know that my God is a loving God and isn’t out killing and destroying things.  The Bible tells me that is the job description of the devil.  So why would we blame God? Like I said, I am not trying to debate or ruffle up anyone.  I sure don’t claim to know all the answers; I don’t know many answers at all, but I do trust in God.  He has seen me through too much, even when I did lose someone or something.  God was always there to comfort and give me the peace that I needed to make it through.  Through it all God has been more than enough for me.  Let’s just be careful what we say and think during our times of hurt and disappointment.  Continuing to pray for those affected by the tornado in Tuscaloosa/B’Ham area.
