It is so easy to blame God for when things go wrong and we see suffering in the world. ‘Why does God allow this?’ people say. Or ‘how can God be a loving God when there is so much suffering in the world?’ I’ve never yet heard anyone say ‘Why does the devil allow this terrible thing to happen.’ It is the devil and not God who is responsible for the wrongs of this world. When mankind disobeyed God, the devil had reign to chance havoc. The devil delights in discord and disharmony. God’s ways are harmony and peace.
