Evening: Psalm 119:121-144; Mark 11:27-12:12
Humans
blame trouble on God … “How can a loving God allow suffering?” “God
only gives you what you can handle.” “God took her.” “God made us
stray.” Blaming God is a handy out. But it’s not that simple. God’s
ancient people begged, “come down, help us!” Yet when Jesus did “come
down”, he was scapegoated and killed. You must have heard about the
drowning man who turned away 3 boats and a helicopter because he had
asked God to save him. Strange that we would expect God’s help less than
we expect trouble? But God doesn’t give up.
