Where is God in suffering? What of God’s

Where is God in suffering?

What of God’s mind? What is He thinking about?
So many people know!
“This is what God would do, not do, think and not think”.
“What you are about to do, do quickly,” Jesus told him, 28but no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him. 29Since Judas had charge of the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the Feast, or to give something to the poor”. (John 13:29)

What of God’s mercy? It is the active desire to remove the cause of distress in others.
His mercy falls on Israel and not Palestine, on USA and UK and not Iraq. Doesn’t it??!
Paul reminds us what God said to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”

What of His might?
We are so confident in His power.
To people who rejected Jesus the disciples asked, “Shall we call fire down from heaven to destroy them?” (Luke 9:54) Jesus rebuked them.
We have searched and found the God of victory, the God of plenty, of healing, of abundance and of resurrection. What about the God in defeat, in hunger, in sickness, in lack, on the cross? Do we know where God is?

Where is God? He is with the poor and needy. He is one with them. If we do unto them we do unto Him, why? Because He is there as one of them.
There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your brothers and toward the poor and needy….Deuteronomy 15:11
Where is God? He is with those in trouble.
This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles. Psalm 34:6
Where is God? He is with the oppressed.
Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Psalm 82:3
