Main Point: Evil is a problem for us, but it is not a problem for God—nor does it disprove God or His power and goodness.

The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good. For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the Lord , and he ponders all his paths.

Intro Are we asking the right question? Are our questions of eternal importance or trivial in the moment? Do our questions seek to give or receive understanding or to cause division?

It is his imagination of the bright future that allowed him to endure the cross. Lack of imagination will make you become negative, complainful, and resentful which will make the suffering even worse...
