God IS in control. Also, God did NOT create evil. When you think of the angels that He created, they have been in His very presence and have seen God first hand. When Lucifer decided that he would not be content with his position as #1 ArchAngel, he rebelled - key word is made a CHOICE - and Lucifer and about 1/3 of heavens angels made the choice to denounce God and now they face the same judgement = HELL. We will never fully understand things until we get to heaven. That is where FAITH comes into play. God is very much in control of things. He gives us "free will" and the ability to make choices, to know right and wrong. Evil is because of Lucifers choice and his wanting to dismantle the Kingdom of God. Thus, Satan=Lucifer will stop at nothing to interfer with our daily lives and make us "choose" to not want Christ in our lives. Satan wants to keep us as far away from God as possible. The good news is that by having a real relationship with our Savior, God will see us through the "hell" and messes that Satan and his host create for us. The other way to see bad things in this world, is to realize that we are not complete without God in our daily lives. God will complete us where we fall short, and help us. Things happen every day around the world that we just ignore, but sooner or later, some tragic event will happen before our eyes and grab our attention. God wants to use that to bring us closer to Himself. When we suffer or see others suffer, we become better equiped to help others in need of our Savior through our testimony. We can then declare the glory of God by what we have seen and heard. The post about different races does start with the different languages, but when we all realize that we are descendents of Adam and Eve and then Noah and his family, we are all related somehow. It is the areas around the world that dictate various things about how we look. For example, fair skinned people do not typically live close to the equator. Darker skinned people usually live closer to the sun belt and darker skin will keep from burning. Chinese look different because their language uses certain facial muscles when they talk so their faces and eyes are firmer. It is true that human genetics also play a key roll in how we look. No matter what, we are created very special by God. One last thing that will blow your mind. Your DNA is a very special code for who you are and your makeup. If you were to read one character per second day and night of your DNA, it would take 96 years to reach the end. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. God bless you!
