Many people this day and age are angry with God, in fact, two thirds of American’s today are angry with God. Maybe, some of the reasons for their anger is that they feel God has not responded to them in a critical time or prevented hurt during a disaster. According to an article by “United Church of God” many Christians today lack knowledge of biblical faith which in turn causes anger towards God. God never intended to hurt us. His plan for us does not include pain and suffering we in the general tense have brought it upon our selves. The prophet once said “My people perish because of lack of knowledge”(Hos. 4:6).
Isaiah 11:9
9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
He never intended that we should get hurt, but we did. Man against man warring against each other, we have taken after the enemy whose purpose is to kill, steal and to destroy. Hurt builds resentment and anger towards a person or God. God decided to put a stop to that and set a place where man was forbidden to hurt others; his mountain. Within the knowledge of God we understand that he does not want us to hurt. For example, the ten commandments gives us insight of God’s desire for us not to hurt and one of them states that we should not kill one another. Jesus stated that we are the branches stshe vine (Jh. 15:3) and so we are jointly connected to God for which he desires no pain, but when we distance our selves from him hurts and pain come our way. Isaiah said that God takes care of his vine yard, he will water it and watch it that no one would hurt it (Is. 27:2-3). We are important to God. He is not a distant God like 24 % of American’s believe. God expresses his unfavorable attitude towards pain in Revelations 7:3 where he tells his angels to wait until those who will be saved be sealed. There is deliverance from hurt to those who trust God and become filled with his knowledge (Ps. 144:10).
