I continue to be shocked when I see the news. Horrible acts done to people by other people. Evil is the only word that fits. Over the next few weeks, I am going to give us some options to consider for why evil exists. Here is the first option for us to consider.

Option One: we simply can’t understand it. Isaiah 55:8-9 says, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." There are some things on this side of eternity we will just never figure out. I believe this to be true. God asks us to trust him and have faith. It isn’t easy, but we are called to a life of faith.

If you are like me and agree with Option One, but you find yourself asking, "Ok, but can you give me something else?" Check back next Thursday and I will post Option Two.
