Folks Sometimes Focus On The Horrible Stuff. Why, God... Why?

Adam & Eve Sinned and Ate That Apple... Jacob's Children Enslaved In Egypt... Samson and Delilah's Bad Hair Day... David Stealing Uriah's Pretty Wife... Jesus Crucified...The Disciples Martyred.

Each True... No Question... No Doubt... BUT... Why, God...WHY Allow It?  

Well...

From Adam & Eve's disobedience... We Learned... How Horrible... the price of Sin.

From Jacob's kids enslavement... WE Learned... How Precious Freedom.

From Samson's dallying with Delilah... We Learned... Better to Put God 1st.

From David's Sin... We learned... God's Mercy.

From Jesus' Crucifiction... We Were... All Forgiven... And Given Eternal Life.

And From The Martyr's... We Learned... That Christ Is Worth Any Sacrifice.

Why does the Lord allow bad things to happen? It's Because... God... Who Made This World... & Made Us All... He Had a Plan. He Allowed It All... For a Reason.

In the big picture of things... The Lord was planting a crop in the mud. Mud is dirty and messy... but ultimately... it yields a great harvest. In this case... The Harvest Will Be Folks That Love The Lord... And Receive Him...And Believe In Him. Them folks be going to Heaven. Then, after that... there's a stack of weeds heading for the burn pile.

Matthew 13:37-43 

One Day In Heaven... We Will See The Harvest.

We Will See He Had a Reason For It All!
