So I am thinking God must be like this huge brain that never sleeps. The problem is that even the most brainy people on this planet earth cannot really understand God. Before we went to bed we watched the rescue of the Chilean miners and it took a lot of experts in the field of drilling to finally succeed in bringing those miners up from the depths of the earth. How to drill down through the hardest of rocks to make a funnel to bring them one by one back to their loved ones. The whole world rejoiced!
This disaster could have been prevented if the structure of the mine had been built strong and safe.
Suffering is created by careless and thoughtless human beings and it is not apart of God's plan. Yes, we often learn from our difficult experiences caused by our own stupidity or the failure of others to make this world a safe place.
Jesus was asked many ridiculous questions about the will of God that seemed more like a curse than a blessing. Why was the man born blind did he sin or did his parents? The answer was revealed by the healing touch of Jesus.
The words of Jesus have been translated for us so that even as we put our faith in his words of truth we have to search for the right interpretation. We read these words with our own conceived ideas about truth and about the will of God. We have our own inner struggles with right and wrong and Jesus reveals the power of good that heals and sets us free. This is the Kingdom of God.
