Why Doesn’t God Do Something?

As we sit in our homes isolated, worried about catching the Virus and wondering when it will be safe to come out again,

some people are wondering why God doesn’t do something? If that is not a “slippery slope” question nothing is!

Everyone wants God to do something. The problem is ultimately we can’t agree on what we want God to do!

We would probably all agree that we would like God to make the COVID 19 Virus to go away.

Is that all we want God to do?.

Probably not.

Most people have a long list of things they want God to do, such as cure cancer, diabetes, MS, ALS, MD, and every other disease. We would probably all agree on these too.

And once God has cured all of this will that be enough? Probably not.

Most people would like God to fix all natural disasters such as Hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes. And once God has fixed all of this will that be enough?

Probably not.

What about Starvation, Corruption, Crime, Terrorism, Poverty, Racism and Sexism, Human Trafficking and Drugs? And if we agree on all of these things, just exactly “HOW” should God “do something” about it?

If one is a Democrat, why doesn’t God “do something “ about Trump. And if one is a Republican why doesn’t God “do something “ about Pelosi?

Now it is beginning to really get complicated. What about adultery, abortion, pedophilia, pornography and sexual promiscuity?

Should God “do something about that?” What about the neighbor we don’t like?

Or the family member who is causing all of the problems.

What about the drunk driver? Should God intervene?

The list is literally endless!

Most people cannot agree on many of these issues, so “What is God to do?”

Every Time something happens that we don’t agree with or we think is unjust or unfair we blame God for not “doing something “ and want God to jump and fix it ,

yet other times we don’t want God to get involved because it might limit our personal freedom and desires and agenda.

It would all be solved if Jesus came back today, but do we REALLY want that?

For those whose life is going reasonably well or have vacation plans after the virus, they probably would prefer for Jesus to wait, even though it would fix EVERYTHING IMMEDIATELY!

How should God intervene or get involved AND WHEN?

These are the mysteries of Life and Eternity that are greater than our minds can understand and on which we cannot agree.

My Faith however tells me that God IS doing something everyday.

What we do know is that EVERYTHING works out for the good for those who Love God.

Maybe if we spent more time LOVING God and less time telling God what He should be doing, things will turn out for the good, a little sooner!

God Bless
