Questions that cause problems

****Questions that lead to trouble***
How often have we all heard or thought, "why does God let terrible things happen to people?"
"Why are children dying, starving, and being abused?"  Why does He allow murder?"  Here's a thought.  God created man and woman in His image and then in Genesis 1:28, "then God blessed them and said, Be fruitful and multiply.  FILL THE EARTH AND GOVERN IT.  REIGN over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the creatures that scurry on the ground."
We all know about the apple and all the problems that came from it.  But God gave us dominion and we humans messed up.  God has given us many examples like "the good Samaritan", and many sets of instructions concerning humanity and this earth.  We don't always follow them.  We have 2 choices.   Get up and do as much as we can about human suffering or ask God to control everything.   If He controls EVERYTHING,  He will choose our partners, control our actions and thoughts,  remove the music we listen to, the shows we watch, and the amount of food we eat.  I think we rather enjoy our freedom of choice.  We're not God the creator.  We don't get to tell Him what to do.  If we ask Him to step in and take over- look out party people, those days are gone. 
   Only the devil would put God on trial and convict Him for the things that humans do.  Let's just get up and use our lives as a blessing to everyone we touch.  We can end suffering as a human race if we listen to instructions and if we try.  We can each make a difference in Jesus name.
