When God just ‘let’s things happen’
Perhaps He has been left with no other action that will get a mankind, bent on ignoring Him, to be brought again to their attention. One could suppose that the further God is intentionally removed, or unintentionally disregarded – dismissed – from the conscious mind and spiritual conscience of man, that He is forced to allow more and more ‘jarring’ events to bring the mind back to cognizance.
I suggest that the next time – and there will be next time – instead of asking, “Why does God allow …?”, we should begin to ask, “For what purpose has God allowed …?”
Another question being asked, at present, is why there seems to be so little civility in a supposedly advanced society such as ours, here in the United States. Could it be that God has come to a point of exasperation – that He has simply said, “if that is what the mind of the people accept, then, so be it”.
In my lifetime, I have never seen or heard of the forbearance of such dishonest, dishonorable, crass, classless, ignorant, men and women as are being found acceptable candidates for the highest office in the nation. Have we – sadly – fallen to the place where a prideful, selfish, dishonest, classless, crass, profane and vulgar society has become the tolerable norm to us.
Many are the historically tragic(?) ends, when a nation falls prey to some man’s call to the pursuit of ‘national greatness’. As I recall, The United States of America has never sought ‘greatness’, as an end, (pun intended), nor has it ever sought the leadership of one who espouses to intentionally lead the nation to ‘greatness’, then, or now. But today, we have one who is, apparently acceptable, who deigns to lead the country to greatness, “again”. Have we forgotten that the halls of history are strewn with the carcasses of so many imperialist, and there enthusiastic minions, seeking national greatness. Meanwhile, God says that it is “righteousness” that “exalteth a nation”.
Perhaps we, as a nation and a society, should be asking three questions, of God, “How have we arrived at this place in our history?” “Why have we arrived at this condition in our history?”, and, “For what purpose are we being subjected to these choices?”
How far we have strayed from the humble path that made ‘US’ a great nation.
