Where Is God In These Dark Times?

God is with us!

Throughout the world’s existence, evil leaders have made evil choices.  Herod chose to murder many innocent male children under age two in Massacre of the Innocents.  Then there was Hitler.  And Stalin.  And Himmler. 

And now we have those who commit murder and those who stand by and watch murder committed.  In all cases, thousands of innocent children have been brutally slaughtered.

Many ask, “Where is God during these dark times”.  Times in which suffering so abounds.

God is right here, with us.   And because He loves us so; He suffers with us.

But we are the ones making the choices to do evil-not God.

We can either choose to follow God or we can choose to do evil.  We can choose to love God and our neighbor-or we can choose not to!

And we can choose to allow the suffering in the Ukraine or we can choose to stop it.

It’s our choice, given to us by God Himself.

But be clear, it’s a choice we make, not God.
