State of emergency declared in Kentucky ~ Flooding and power outages affecting multiple states.... and it's COLD ~ This is allowed for the few who will recognize their need and cry out to God. A short time of discomfort is nothing compared to an eternity separated from God.

8 are dead

Do you know these people? I don't. God does. And only he knows what is best for each one of us: when and how we depart from our physical bodies. You don't think you get to keep yours forever, do you? It is appointed for each man to die once.... and then the judgment. Dying is as natural as being born. But it does not have to be frightening. Each of us shall reap what we sow. Those that sin without repentance, shall die in their sins. Your degree of faith will determine how you leave this world and how you enter the next.

For the sake of those still alive God allows many trials and tribulations to come upon them, to humble the few who will turn away from their descent into the abyss and turn upwards to the Creator. Hell is much worse than any tribulation on earth.

I am glad you have faith and care about the people suffering. I agree with that sentiment. It is our duty to pray for them, and to love our neighbors as ourselves.

We don't have to know them. And you certainly don't know what God knows.

Yes, I agree. As I already mentioned, I do not know these people, but God does. And he always knows what is best for the salvation of every soul. When a man doubts the goodness of God, he makes himself the judge of his Maker, which is not the right mindset for a created being.

You don't know what God knows.

You can faith in God, but cannot dictate what God knows.

Please explain why it is not the right mindset for the created being, I want to know.

why it is not the right mindset

It is a proud and arrogant man who accuses his God of wrongdoing. How much can a man know, when he has lived for only a short time on a small part of only one of countless planets in the universe, which were all created by this God?

Mortal men should humble themselves and admit they do not understand God's ways, but not claim to know better than the eternal God how to rule over all of creation.

But here is the good news: God welcomes your questions, even if they are foolish. If you come to him as a little child and admit your lack of understanding, and ask him for enlightenment, God will surely help your thinking be right. It is the humble man who receives God's help, but God is against the proud.

So, approach God in humility, and see how he will answer your questions.

Thank you for your guidance sir.

And if you're right about this, then praise be to God for putting up with my questions.
