As humans, we are prone to projecting our own disposition onto a holy and perfect God, and we struggle to detach our identity from our perceptions.

When a new idea challenges our established beliefs, we often reject and oppose it without rational thought. This is because we are dualistic by nature, and we tend to filter our understanding of God through our humanistic consciousness.

God’s Ways Our Ways

We must recognize that God’s ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9

While we may struggle to understand His actions, we can trust that He is good and just, and He always acts in accordance with His perfect Will and purpose.

Why Evil Then?

It is important to understand that evil is not a creation in itself; rather, it is the manipulation of what God created as perfect, altering its function and purpose.

Evil entered creation through the selfish desires of Lucifer and his fallen angels, who sought to be like the Most High and hinder humanity from communing with God. As fallen beings after the footsteps of Lucifer, we sin because we are no longer in a state of perfection, and we need a Savior for regeneration through the Holy Spirit’s Grace and the Gift of faith.

While we may pray for physical healing, we must also recognize that God may have a greater purpose for our suffering that goes beyond our physical healing. We cannot fully comprehend God’s omniscience and how it encompasses future events beyond our finite understanding. His apparent withholding of healing and permission for darkness to prevail may elude our human minds in the present moment.

In the end, we must trust in God’s sovereignty and recognize that His ways are not limited by our understanding. We serve either God or Satan, and our will is bound by sin, released only by the regeneration of our spirit, soul, and bodies through the power of the Holy Spirit by the Father’s will, through faith in Christ.
