Re: Where is God?

A few comments about your message.

I have to disagree with you on some things. First, God was everywhere when Sept. 11 happened, as He always is, everywhere. I might be mistaken, but the way you say it sounds like at least God was there to save some. I think that the people who died, as sad as it may have been, was already planned. God planned for those people to die that day. A tragic death? Yes. That's how God works. In ways we don't understand. Was it in His plan to save many from dying that day? Of course, He has decided from the beginning that those who survive will die another day and under other circumstances. FYI One lady who survived (worked in one of the towers) from Dominican Republic, decided to go home and celebrate with her family that nothing had happened to her. And the flight she was on crashed a few minutes after take off!! God wanted her to die that day, not on Sept. 11. And about those 19 evil men?, well, they were/are not God's children. If they had been, they wouldn't have had that much hate, enough to kill many people. They were evil people and we ALL know that God is not evil. And those evil men who died are spending eternity in hell. Even if it sounds so weird and many times unfair, God has planned everyone's lives, everyone's futures. He has planned who will believe and who will not believe. As simple as that. And Sept. 11th doesn't affect me THAT much, because it was all under God's plan. There are things worse than Sept. 11th, like all the thousands of babies being murdered everyday by senseless doctors. Yet, God has allowed this for a purpose. Do we understand it? Of course not, we can't since our minds are soooo limited. But one day we'll know God's purpose in everything and we will understand clearly. For now, I think it's best not to question what God is doing, but to accept His plan, follow it, and know that He is a very powerful God, He is THE powerful God and He will keep surprising us. May be through hurricanes, earthquakes, typhoons, who knows, but God is in control and that's what gives me peace. Knowing that He is the architect of everything. So for those who trust Him and follow Him, we should just Trust Him, really Trust Him and not question Him ever on the things He does. He has a reason and a purpose. And remember that for those who are His, everything will work out for GOOD, not evil. Praise Him!!
