Evil and God’s Will
God is good; God is all-powerful; Evil Exists. Do we really have to pick only two?
Dec. 29, 2012
What if…?
Was it wise of God to entrust so much responsibility to the likes of us… we who in fact do value paranoid worldviews and “home defense” against the “gummint” more than the safety of our children? I don’t know. But for whatever reason, it seems to me that He has. Call me old-fashioned, naïve, or idealistic if you will, but to me this is anything but “lame.” It is the dignity, and responsibility of Sonship. And the consequences of that go with the job of being “Little less than God, and crowned with glory and majesty” (Ps. 8:4-6)… My job.
Does any of this make the questions go away or ease the suffering? Hardly. Will choosing Sonship over accountability-free infancy cleanse the world of all evil and injustice? Probably not.
But I guarantee you… it will make it a damn sight better than it is, and the Kingdom of God will be that much closer for all of us.
