You know what, God will let a man do just about anything he purposes in his heart, no matter what form of evil it is. However, you will stand before Him on the day of judgment and give account for all you have done, unless you are saved in Christ Jesus.

When sin came into this world, we were hopeless without the law and sacrifice, and Jesus even told us just how few people would be saved by the law, or regulations. What do you think He was referencing when he spoke "Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." Unless you repent, and turn to Christ, you are dead in your sins.

However God will intercede for us, and help us in our times of need. It's our faith, and I've seen it made manifest in my own life.

Let's think about the holocaust. The horrible nature of all that mass murder. You might say: "The Jews are supposed to be God's people, and God's not a liar, right? So why did he let all that evil happen to them?" It was prophesied in the scripture time and again that the Jews would face evil at the hands of the world before being drawn back to Israel. It was 1948 when that prophecy was fulfilled. Jerusalem is even in the hands of the Jews, and bubby, that's some monumental stuff! However, even while the holocaust was going on, there were still those who risked their lives and livelihoods to bring whatever comfort they could to these people. I put money on the fact that those Jews prayed for help, and had mercy shown to them. And I also put money on the fact that many more prayed and were destroyed. Why? Don't know.

What about when a child is harmed, or molested? Jesus said "Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven." God will give them their due, don't you worry about it. But because of sin, people do evil and horrible things, and practice every kind of perversion, not just sexual.

Yes, I do take it in faith that God has a plan, and that He's the Good Shepherd. I only know what's in the scriptures, and what He's revealed to me through His Words and deeds in my life. Just like Paul said in 1 Corinthians 13:11-12 "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known." We can't understand everything here, in this corruptible flesh. However when I stand before the Lord in joy, I will, and that's enough.
