Q2. (1:13-15) Why do people blame God for evil? Does God tempt us with evil? Does he tempt sinful people with evil? Why does he allow people to sin? Why does he allow evil to exist at all? People blame God because it is the easy way out. Isn't funny that many say they don't believe in God but yet, when bad things happen, it's God, never their own evil desires. We have a sinful nature. It starts from within and then satan temps us from without. Double whammy, so to speak. Thank the Lord we have Him to seek as a refuge. God could never tempt us with evil, He may test us with trials but never does He tempt us. That comes from us and from satan. He does not "allow" people to sin. That is our free will and our choice. God allows satan to tempt us in order to persevere in our trials and to refine us. We need to rely on Christ for everything and not on our own devices. GOD IS SO GOOD!!!!!11

There has been quite a trial in my life due to health issues the past year and a half. Yet, through them, I know the Lord has been working and I truly believe I have become stronger in the faith. This trial has taken the focus off "me" and put it where it should be - on "Him". He is my rock and my fortress. He said it was never going to be easy to be a Christian. We will have lots of trials but we need to persevere and press forwad. I consider the valleys even more important than the highs. In my opinion, if you never experience the valleys, just the highs, you really cannot grow. He also tells us that in our weakness, He is strong. PRAISE HIM!!!!!!!!!
