But even if He doesn’t

Thank you for your informative editorials that are always filled with sensible analysis and sound wisdom every week.

The May 12 editorial “But Even if He Does Not … ” was particularly timely in light of the tornadoes that struck Alabama. I don’t think I have ever read a better biblically based, brief analysis on the often perplexing question of “why God allows such bad things to happen to seemingly innocent people.”

Certainly, believers being perplexed about the sovereignty of God is not new.

But, the way you dealt with it is satisfying to my soul, especially the part dealing with the imperfect tense of the Hebrew verb for the word “will,” which may also be read “may.”
