WHERE CAN I FIND GOD TODAY?

As these few months went by, people around the world suffering from corona virus
that caused to end many lives. Many of us are asking why is this happening? How long it
would last? We are all worried and scared for we did not know what is coming, maybe there
will be more dying not just because of corona virus but also of famine that all of us are
praying not to happened.
I have been reflecting a lot of how can I make myself calm and trust God with his
plans? Does God hear my prayers? Then I came up with a thought that if God sent Jesus to
save us from our sins why would he let this happened? The answer is no, Satan is still
roaming around the world. Death, agony, illness, and many more is normal today, but how
can we find God today? Draw closer to God every day and believe firmly with your faith.
We know That his love is true and pure and sent the ever first healer in our world which is
Jesus. He answered many prayers in many ways, and he is closer those who are in pain that
made me believe he would help us survive from this corona virus outbreak.
I think that if hard times comes, he wants to mold us for us to be greater. We can trust
him to make a way in the season of life where we feel out of control unable to see forward,
we can take comfort in the truth that he fights for us during this pandemic. The root of our
ability to trust God lies in what we believe in his character. Our circumstances may change,
but god character does not. I could say that I can find him through my prayers.
Pain is not without purpose. “Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the
nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” (Psalm 46:10). “And we know that for those who love God
all things work together for good” (Romans 8:28). We don’t have to be scared in facing this
pandemic because he is always with us. Let us look forward in positive ways that death is not the
end, his promise for eternal life remain and will happen.
 “Does God is the reason of all sufferings?”

Some people say and feel that God causes human suffering or that, at the very least,
he is indifferent to it and unfair. But what the Bible teaches? The Bible clearly teaches us that
God does not cause us to suffer. As we enter the year of 2020, many unexpected and hurtful
incidents happened that many people start asking of why such things happened?

Los Angeles Lakers icon and five-time NBA champion Kobe Bryant died Sunday in a
helicopter crash in Calabasas, California. An investigation into the crash that killed all nine
people on board, including Bryant, 41, and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, is ongoing,
according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Bryant and his daughter were
headed to Mamba Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks, California, for a youth basketball
event. The helicopter carrying Bryant and eight others had been given special permission to
fly despite foggy conditions, according to a report from the New York Times.

Due to the inclement weather, the chopper was flying quite low, who reported, "At
one point, an air traffic controller informed the pilot, "You're still too low for flight following
at this time," meaning the chopper wasn't flying high enough to register on radar. Nine
confirmed deaths and no survivors. All nine victims have been identified. This news broke
many hearts fan of Kobe, some of them blame the almighty God and some ask why this need
to happen?

Someone asked that if they prayed to be safe before the flight, does God did not hear
them? The Bible assures us: “God is not partial, but in every nation the man that fears him
and work righteousness is acceptable to him.” (Acts 12:34, 35). God do not want us to suffer,
Jesus denounced religious leaders in his day who prayed hypocritically; they cared only
about making a show of their piety.
 He said that such men would have “Their reward in full,” meaning that they would
receive only what they needed, God’s hearing ear. (Matthew 6:5) likewise today, many pray
according to their will and not God’s. Ignoring the Bible principles that we have discussed,
they do not get God’s hearing ear.

Dozens of fires erupted in New South Wales, Australia, prompting the government
to declare a state of emergency in November 2019. Fires rapidly spread across all states to
become some of the most devastating on record. The corona virus outbreak is now a
pandemic. We are all get scared by hearing the news, some get panic and do not know what
to do. What does the meaning of these? Does God the reason why such things happened?

Some say that everything that happens is God’s will. Thus, they believe that God
causes us to suffer. When natural disasters strike, for instance, they think that these events
are God’s way of punishing those who have sinned. If God does not cause us to suffer, then
who or what does? Sadly, humans are often victimized by other imperfect humans.
(Ecclesiastes 8:9) Additionally, we may face calamities because of “unexpected events”—
that is, because of simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

(Ecclesiastes 9:11) The Bible teaches that ultimately “the ruler of this world,” Satan
the Devil, is responsible for human suffering, for “the whole world is lying in the power of
the wicked one.” (John 12:31; 1 John 5:19) It is Satan not God who causes people to suffer.

Some think that God is indifferent to our trials. For example, one writer cites what
he calls God’s “apparent lack of mercy or pity in reaction to our suffering.” This writer
argues that if God exists, he must view humans with “pitiless indifference.”. The Bible
says far from depicting God as pitiless or indifferent, the Bible teaches that God is deeply
moved by our suffering—and that he will soon bring an end to it. Consider three
comforting truths found in the Bible. God is aware of our suffering, God feels for us
when we suffer, and God will end all human suffering.

Have you ever noticed that all four of the Bible’s warning signals? Have you heard
news and afraid it things get worse? There are many calamities and tragedy that some people
might believe we are close to the end of the world. Even though humans cannot predict what
will happen, our almighty God can.

He tells us in the Bible about our future and the earth’s future. When we hear the end
of the world from the Bible, It means not the end of the planet but the end of wickedness.
Jesus taught people that kingdom of God would rule over the earth. (Luke 4:43) His disciples
wanted to know when God’s kingdom would come, they asked Jesus: “When will these
things be, and what will be the sign of your preference and of the conclusion of things?”
(Matthew 24:3) Jesus did not give them the exact date, but he told them what would happen
just before the end of this world. What Jesus said would happen is happening right now.

People have tried so many ways to avoid aging and escape from death. Adam
grow old and died because he sinned by disobeying God. We grow old because from
Adam we inherited sin and its penalty is death. We are not going to be free from death,
illness and aging. People who disobey God, as what Adam did, will lose the privilege of
life. Only people who are forgiven for their sins will enjoy eternal life.

People say we are entering a new age of anxiety, “Anxiety in man’s hearth weighs
it down, but a good word cheers it up” An especial good word can be found in good news
from god. (Matthew 24:14) That kingdom, a government by God, will soon do what we
alone could never do, eliminate all anxiety by removing the root causes, including
sickness and death. God will wipe out every tear from our eyes, and death will be no
more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore”

Keep your attention by the things that surrounds you today, people are so busy about
money, and success in life by forgetting what God was want us to do. We are all do want an
everlasting life but how can we manage if at the very first place we did not follow Jesus
steps? We are suffering from different problems in life and easily get depress by so many
things. Some people forgot to put god first in everything, they forgot to choose God in every
situation, they are so eager by things offered by Satan in world.
 Many people blame God of what is happening today they forgot his love for us
humankind. Our only God do not want us to suffer, he wants us to be faithful and to have the
everlasting life. Jesus wants us to know his father our almighty God Jesus prayed to him and
asked for help, and I do pray everyday calling the name of our almighty god Jehovah.

“May the God who gives hope fill you with all joy and peace by your trusting in him”
Romans 15:13.
