A Journey: Part 3 Poem by Jacob Courtney

part 3 God is in control

Yes God is in control. We ask how
is that possible if we have free will
then how is God in control? God knows
what is to come God knows what is
happening. God is everywhere He walks
with us everyday knowing the intents
of our hearts. So answer me this how
is God not in control? Will we answer
with the evil acts of this world I
wonder. But what is evil I ask? Its the
same as this question what is darkness?
Both answers are simply the same, the
absence of good and light.
If God is in control then why is
there death, why don't He stop the
bad from taking place to those who
are done wrong? The thing is we don't
always understand the things we must
experience in our lives. Why was I
abused what kind of God allows such
a thing? A God who has a purpose for
my life and others who have gone through
horrid things in life. When Adam and
Eve ate of the apple they allowed something
to come forth in this world. The knowledge
of good and evil. So man knew evil and
acted upon it. When Cain killed Able
was perfect example of what jealousy
anger and rage can do to us what
pride and arrogance can do to us.
God knows that some of us will experience
some of the most unpleasant things
in this world but what would bring us
out of it is others who have experienced the
same thing. God can take some of the worst
acts and turn them into something more for
His works. We must have faith and trust
in the Lord for His ways are above ours.
