Why does god allow suffering
Sometimes when we board an airplane there will be dark clouds and it will be raining. But in a few minutes the plane is above the clouds and the sun will be shining. Same way,we can understand that above the clouds, in our life the sun is shining.God is still there despite any tragedy that we may be experiencing.The Bible says that Job suddenly lost all of his wealth and his children. Job never asked why those things were happening to him. The closest he ever came was when he said, "Show me why You contend with me" (Job 10:2).Job was sharing his agony of spirit with the very God he could not understand.Suffering carries a number of messages to all of us. Suffering carries a message of mystery. The Bible says, "Great is the mystery of godliness" (1 Timothy 3:16).For every suffering there will be a reason, and the reason is the well being of us.We may think that God does not give the things we ask for but, the truth is the things we ask in our ignorance are really harmful for us. The Bible says in Isaiah 55:8-9:"For my thoughts are not your thoughts,neither are your ways my ways,"declares the LORD."As the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Lets trust God!!!So that we can be more than Conquerors!!!Romans 8:28:And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him.
