We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The preparation for the public ministry of the Word is even more excellent than preaching in church. To live in constant communion with the Lord, and to be habitually and frequently in meditation over the truth is its own reward.
George Muller

We should notice that the alternatives to saying that God uses evil for His purposes, but that He never does evil and is not to be blamed for it, are not desirable ones. If we were to say that God Himself does evil, we would have to conclude that He is not a good and righteous God, and therefore that He is not really God at all. On the other hand, if we maintain that God does not use evil to fulfill His purposes, then we would have to admit that there is evil in the universe that God did not intend, is not under His control, and might not fulfill His purposes… Surely this (too) is an undesirable alternative position.

    1 ויאמר יהוה אלי עוד לך אהב אשה אהבת רע ומנאפת כאהבת יהוה את בני ישראל והם פנים אל אלהים אחרים ואהבי אשישי ענבים׃
    2 ואכרה לי בחמשה עשר כסף וחמר שערים ולתך שערים׃
    3 ואמר אליה ימים רבים תשבי לי לא תזני ולא תהיי לאיש וגם אני אליך׃
    4 כי ימים רבים ישבו בני ישראל אין מלך ואין שר ואין זבח ואין מצבה ואין אפוד ותרפים׃
    5 אחר ישבו בני ישראל ובקשו את יהוה אלהיהם ואת דויד מלכם ופחדו אל יהוה ואל טובו באחרית הימים׃
