How much does God impact this world? Does God still interact with this world as often as He did in the past? Did God set things in motion, and then walk away? We might be tempted to ask these questions, especially as we look at the world around us. This world seems to be getting worse and worse. If God really did love us and care for us, then He wouldn't let all these evil things in the world happen. If God was really involved in my life...
We know that God loves us because He sent His precious Son to die for us. Proving that evil exists does not disprove His existence, or how much He loves us, or the extent of His involvement on earth. Proving evil exists simply proves that evil exists. Proving misery exists, again simply proves misery exists. What is more, misery has been promised in this world because sin exists in this world. Still, as Thomas Brooks writes, "Whatever the means or instruments of our misery are - the hand is God's! It behooves us, in every judgement, to see the hand of the Lord, and to look through visible means to an invisible God!"
No one can say how or why God acts the way He does, in the manner that He does, because God is not accountable to men for His actions. God is Almighty, that is, the ruler of all things. Every action is reported to God. Everyone who does something is accountable to God, be it angel, demon, or human. Therefore, we need to remember that in all things, we are accountable to Christ. By the measure of Christ, we will stand or fall, and only through our Almighty Christ can we stand.
