Where Was God in All the Goodness of 2012?

Permalink
As this year ends, the question I am asking is: Where was God when so many good things happened this past year? 

How can God be a God of justice, yet allow so much good to happen to people who dishonor him by disbelieving in him, or giving lip service to his existence, or paying no more attention to him than the carpet in their den, or rejecting the kingship of his Son, or scorning his word, or preferring a hundred pleasures before him?

  • Where was God when the President was not shot at a thousand public appearances?

  • Where was God when no terrorist plot brought down a single American building or plane or industry?    Continue at Desiring God

I do not begin to pretend that I have a message that does not include myself as an offender. While I have not committed adultery in my 17 year marriage to my husband, and I am not on the verge of walking out, I am no less guilty of the underlying sin that leads to these destinations.  Keep Reading...
