What Are You Doing Today?

Many people, including me might have ask themselves, why God allow so much hunger and misery in this world? Why God allow people being so mean with the nature destroying and killing everything in it just for fun or money? Why God permit war? Why God permit parents kill their kids? Why God let husbands abuse their wives and vice versa? Why God permit people kill each other?

This morning, I was hearing a radio station where they were collecting money for food for the poor. They were explaining how children in Guatemala die of hunger, how mothers give their kids water with salt to fool their stomach, how a baby when born weight 6 pounds and now that have 13 months only weight 10 pounds. It is sad, very sad. Why God allow that? The ironic thing is that those people have more faith than food, those people pray and believe in God more than probably some of us.

Why God allow all this? Well my hypothesis is that He does not allow all this misery; actually, we are responsible of all this bad things happening in the world. We as a whole world community allow that this thing happened everyday. We human being are the only responsible of why elephants in Africa are about to be extinct or the rhino or the giraffe. We are the only responsible of people dying of hunger around the world, we are the only responsible of so many innocent death. As matter fact our choices in everyday life is why things like this happened every day in the world.

God give us the tools to and the resources to avoid so much wickedness. Why we do not do something? Why don’t start with baby steps? How we can help? Helping our neighbors, feeding the hunger, stopping injustice, and teaching our kids good values with our examples. Teaching our kids will stop the blindness and unconscious cycle. It is easy blame government, the system; it is easy blame everybody else than do the job. Try this, take your index finger and point something in front of you, now count how many fingers are pointing at you when you point one finger forward?

1 John 3:17-18

¹⁷ But if a person has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need and that person doesn’t care—how can the love of God remain in him?

¹⁸ Little children, let’s not love with words or speech but with action and truth.
