It would have been easy several times in my life to assume God was intervening in my life but I struggled with those times and have come up with the philosophy that God created me human and that means I am vulnerable to all the ills flesh is heir to--and all the joys!. 2. This point is a stumbling block for me. I really do not see the point of innocent children suffering and dying; maybe the "I" is the problem here, but I have yet to reconcile that phenomenon. I do not think God singles people out for suffering but some suffering seems so purposeless. I don't think I blame God but I always feel that He can stop things if He chooses. 3. Talk less; listen more. Remember that offering a hand to someone may be just what he/she needs. 1.

When I hear the word "victim" and "God" together, they just don't go together. I can't see God ever using anyone as a victim. Maybe I'm not understanding this question correctly but I would have to say, NO. I have never been a victim of "an act of God". 2-Why do you think people give God the responsibility for anything that goes badly in their lives? Maybe it's because they don't really know God. They may think that if there were a God, why would He let bad things happen??? If you truly beieve in God and put all your faith and trust in Him then you would know that He is not responsible for the bad things we experience. 3-Think about your week ahead: what’s one new way you can be fruitful for God as your live your life? To be a witness to others by living your life more like Christ. QUESTIONS
