We’ve heard it many times
‘If there is a God indeed,
Why is there so much evil
And why does He not intercede?’
And again, ‘If there is a God
Why do people suffer with cancer,
And children sold as sex slaves?’
As they eagerly await the answer.
There is no clear answer
Since we’re not God or have His mind,
But there are several possibilities
To leave all doubt behind.
Firstly, most issues are self-induced
And to this we can testify,
Because if evil flows from the lips
It will kiss all peace goodbye.
Secondly, there is an adversary
The enemy of our soul,
Who comes to kill and to destroy
And to cause suffering is his goal.
Thirdly, there are worldly ways
Where negativity and all its greed,
Will bring to life confusion
And many doubts our mind it feeds.
There also is much jealousy
Where inwardly the curses flow,
And anxieties combined with fear
That become our greatest foes.
Additionally, there is the heart
That is defiled from within,
When it chooses to reject the Lord
And continue in its sin.
Bad things happen all the time
That’s why we need protection,
In the spiritual realm that is more real
Which requires much reflection.
If God eliminated all wickedness
He’d have to wipe us all away,
Because there is none righteous, no not one
Who is sinless every day.
God is real and He is pure
And abhors all evil indeed,
And has reserved a day of judgement
In which He will intercede.
He’s being kind and patient
And it’s His will that none will perish,
And is waiting for repentance
And for His ways we adopt and cherish.
He’ll judge according to our faith and works
As all will be revealed,
So let’s encourage one another to get right with Him
Where our eternity is sealed.
