Is suffering the will of God? Does He orchestrate suffering? Job 2:10 – “shall we accept good from God and not accept adversity?” Jer. 32:42 – “I brought all this calamity on this people.” Amos 3:6 – “if a calamity occurs in a city, has not the Lord done it?” 1 Pet 3:17 – “if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing right.” 1 Pet. 4:19 – “those who suffer according to the will of God.”
