God lives through

Where is God today? Where was God during 9/11? Where was God when this or that occurred? I have heard these questions often during my 22 years on this globe and have even spoken them myself. So what is the answer? Where is this eternal, omnipresent God? Well first we have to recognize the facts. God is indeed everywhere all at once. However his movements and actions He desires to come through man. It is the way He instituted life on this earth since the beginning as it is recorded in Genesis when He gave man domain over the earth. Another words things are to be handled by and through man. Sin, came through man as well as the counter the destruction of sin came through man-Jesus. So with that put into effect we can understand that God has always been around but He gives man free will to act all the while bringing out His will through humans who are on accord with His will. So when we look to the poor who are hungry and look at tragedies such as 9/11 we can see God is their but His actions limited to those willing to be used. 9/11 an act of complete free will of humans which broke through natural defenses not spiritual. We cannot ignore not God and even remove Him from our lives but expect His divine protection. For a long time America has lived in protection of its own abilities rather than God's protection yet when our defenses were penetrated suddenly we look up and say where's God? Similarly we look to the poor and wonder why God doesn't meet their needs-does He not care? Quite not true! He definitely does care but the plan is through humans God meets the needs of humans. This is clearly seen all throughout the New Testament. So the question isn't where is God its where are the people that God wants to live through.
