The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Proverbs 16:4 Some people are so evil that I often wonder why God doesn't strike them down. Some of the more despicable acts are flashed across the news and we can only shake our head in sadness that such dastardly deeds would be done by one human against another. While I will never understand what motivates someone to do such horrific acts against another, I often wonder what God thinks of our actions.
Solomon's verse above provides solace amidst the turmoil. God is still in control. While we may never understand why some things are allowed to occur, we can rest assured that God is aware and is in control. I have resigned myself to the fact that I can't understand my own thought process at times, why should I expect to be able to explain others?
We gain peace in the storm when we commit ourselves to God and allow Him to lead us vice us trying to judge others.
