So, a question for those who are vocal in their criticism of God, saying bitterly that a good loving God wouldn't allow evil and bad things to happen.
Do these same people ever pray sincere humble thanks and praise for all the good wonderful gifts they do enjoy in life? Food, shelter, etc. How many regularly say grace before meals or thank God for healing their illness?
I'm particularly curious about folks who criticise a God they do not believe even exists. Then there are those who lose their faith when adversity hits. They arouse my interest even more, because I assume they think life ought only to consist of pleasant convenient things. That disease, accidents and such ought not to affect them or their children because they believe in God. Are such folks on their knees thanking God when life is going really well?
I actually know of people who stopped attending church because a family member died of a terrible cancer and they felt their pleading prayers went unheard. Does that mean if demands are not granted, God can be disregarded?
It's about faith and being willing to let God be in charge, whatever happens. Otherwise it's not faith at all. God's healing may not be our idea of healing. Our part is to trust and accept.
