Good morning and welcome back to the morning mindset edition of the

liberal change podcast. I am Carrie Green. I'm your brother in Christ and I'm

here to encourage you and given the topic we've been talking about this last episode or two, it may not sound incredibly

encouraging because we're talking about the judgment of God. And God's right as God to bring terrible things into the lives of real people.

And we have to face these things head on, these kinds of issues, because there really is no getting around it.

Because in any case when a difficulty comes into your life, I mean let's paint a terrible

picture for a moment as an example. Let's say your child were abducted and

killed. I mean it's a horrible thing to think about. But it does happen to people in this world, right?

Well, say that happened to you or to someone who's close to you.

That circumstance could have been stopped by God, That circumstance could have been prevented, in other words, by God because God is all powerful,

but the fact remains that he didn't.

And we have to be able to answer in our own heart and mind at the very depths of our soul the question

why?

Why does it loving God at the very least allow and at the very worst

ordained that things like that happen in the lives of people, much less the lives of his people. It makes us

consider that maybe he's not as loving as we thought or we question his wisdom or what's going on in our lives and we could either

turn bitter and shake our fist at God or we could just give up on life altogether.

But there is another option, and that other option is the option of faith.

And that option of faith can't happen blindly.

We have to look at the circumstance for what it really is and answer

the question with wisdom based on what the Bible tells us. And at the bottom line, the answer to the question, why does God fill in the blank?

Is because he is God.
