Before the Altar (part 28)

At the same time, God does promise deliverance. (Psalms 81:7) He promises help. (Psalms 99:6-8) and He always provides. (Psalms 106:44, Psalms 116:1,2). It may not be when I want it, and I may have to suffer excruciating pain and be in situations that I thought I’d never get out of, but God knows the best time to intervene. This then brings up natural disasters or holocausts. Why does God, if He doesn’t want any to perish, allow these things to happen? Only God can answer that. I cannot begin to know His mind and surely I have asked Him many times to explain it to me. But my mind is small and cannot grasp the enormity of His decisions. He sees forward into time so that He looks back at the same time. I can only look back.
