Isn't it strange that God has a switch (figuratively speaking) that He could push at any moment and stop the world in its tracks, but doesn't? He sees you....He sees me. He sees our suffering, disappointments, sadness, fears, turmoil...He sees the button....He sees your turmoil.....the button...your turmoil...and He doesn't push the button.
This is the big one for almost everyone. The analogy we use is our relationship with our own children - that is, we would NEVER allow them to suffer while we had the power to stop it. It is a hard pill to swallow. Yet the world of believers perpetually places faith in the God who won't stop the world! Why? Why why why do we?
For me most of the time, it comes down to options. What other choice do we have but to trust Him? He's all we've got! But that truth does not stop the wondering why about the button problem.
The desiring for the button to be pushed is not a deathwish by any of us, but simply a desire for this reality to stop being so stressful and difficult! How much do we have to learn before it's pushed? And there you have it. My rant for another day!
