Have you ever asked God “Why...?”

Why did this happen? Why would God allow that to happen? These are natural questions that come up in our seeking to understand how God works our world. It’s easy to conclude if God is all knowing, all powerful then he could prevent many terrible things. Are the hard things that happen our fault? God’s fault? It’s difficult to build faith in God if these questions are swirling around in the back of our minds. The good news is that they can lead us down the road to understanding the character of God. Sunday we will take another step in sharping our mental image of God by looking at God’s sovereignty.
