“Why did God let this happen?” is something I\u2019ve frequently heard from people who are in trouble. \u00a0I want to question the person did God really let it happen or did you have something to do with this situation? \u00a0Did anybody warn you not to do this, marry that person, take that job, stay too long or to not go to a certain place? \u00a0When\u00a0I’ve ask friends or\u00a0acquaintances \u00a0one of those questions, most of the time the person said, “Yes.” \u00a0They may go on to explain that their \u00a0parents said not to do it, or their \u00a0friends warned it was a bad idea to do a\u00a0certain thing. \u00a0Sometimes a person said, \u00a0“I had this gut feeling not to go there.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As I listened I realized that the person is going against one or more of God\u2019s principles. Then when things blow up in their faces the person blames God.\u00a0I am not pointing fingers because I’ve done things in my life over which I’ve been warned not to do. At times I’ve had to pay the consequence for going against good advice.\u00a0<\/span>This topic reminds me of something that happened to my washing machine. My late husband Winston could fix almost anything that had a motor in it. \u00a0He\u2019d worked his way through Seattle Pacific University by fixing the washers and dryers on campus. He also worked for a while as an appliance repairman for Sears. One Saturday morning I loaded the washing machine and turned the knob to start the wash cycle. However it did not engage. The knob just went round and round very smoothly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Winston came to look at the machine for me. He took the cover off the control panel to determine the source of the problem. \u00a0When he came back \u00a0from the store with the new part I stayed talking to him as he fixed the machine. \u00a0He showed me the worn out part. \u201cLook at how this is gear is very smooth,\u201d he said. \u00a0“Yes,” I answered. \u201cWell it\u2019s not supposed to look this way\u201d he continued. He showed me the new part that had notched ridges on the gear. \u201cThe gears are designed to engage as they turn\u201d he told me. \u201c The gear has been stripped so when it\u2019s smooth like this it can\u2019t do the job,\u201d he continued.\u00a0<\/span>

<\/span>I was curious and asked, \u201cHow did it get this way.\u201d I really wanted to know since the machine had been working fine up until that morning. \u00a0He explained that it got that way by people turning the knob the wrong way. \u00a0The knob is designed to be turned in a clockwise direction. He further explained that turning the knob counterclockwise will work, but that it\u2019s rubbing the gears the wrong way. The entire time it’s smoothing the gears out while ruining the mechanism. Then one day it just won’t work anymore.\u00a0<\/span>

<\/span>I thought this is like life. People blame God because they go against the way God designed life and then one day life just doesn\u2019t work. One thing I\u2019ve learned is that I don\u2019t want to wake up one day and my life is in shambles. The times when I\u2019ve decided to turn the knob of life, as it were, the wrong way I\u2019ve paid the price. I\u2019m a quicker learner now. I am learning to be accountable and thoughtful about my choices.\u00a0<\/span>I 1 can’t keep blaming God for my willful actions that bring unwanted consequences. \u00a0<\/span>I pray that\u00a0I will be wiser and follow the directions God has laid out for a peaceful life. By the way you can find out how the gears of life are to run by reading the Bible especially\u00a0 the Book of Proverbs.\u00a0<\/span>

<\/span><\/p>\n

People ruin their lives by their own stupidity,\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

so why does God always get blamed?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
