"GOD,
WHY
DIDN'T
YOU
. . . ?"
Written
and/or re-typed by Johanna Hobrath
On
May 3, 2010 I clicked into a web page that spoke of a very profound
subject. How many times have you, dear reader, asked the question, "God,
Why Didn't You . . . ?"
When occurrences happen in one's life, in one's country, and/or throughout the
world, all too often we may ask the question "God,
Why Didn't
You ...". That
question is especially asked when negative situations evoke sympathy in
those occurrences.
The
web page that carries the article entitled "God,
Why Didn't You . . . ?"
was copied from http://www.peggiesplace.com:80/tnt76.htm
When
I read the profound article entitled "God,
Why Didn't You . . . ?" I
realized that the article is a powerful article; therefore, I decided to
make another web section of the Halo Ministries' Website with the title of "God,
Why Didn't You . . . ?".
Dear
Reader, may the following article also touch your heart and emotions. I
believe that God's heart has empathy toward everything that is occurring
around the globe. If you ask "God,
Why Didn't You . . . ?",
the following article may answer some of the questions to "God,
Why Didn't You . . . ?".

Dear
Concerned Student:
I am not allowed in schools.
Sincerely,
God
Let's
see, I think it started when Madeline Murray O'Hare complained she didn't
want any prayer in our schools.
And we said, OK...
Then,
someone said you better not read the Bible in school, the Bible that says
"thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbors
yourself,"
And
we said, OK...
Dr.
Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave
because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their
self-esteem.
And
we said, an expert should know what he's talking about so we won't spank
them anymore...
Then
someone said teachers and principals better not discipline our children when
they misbehave. And the school administrators said no faculty member in this
school better touch a student when they misbehave because we don't want any
bad publicity, and we surely don't want to be sued.
And
we accepted their reasoning...
Then
someone said, let's let our daughters have abortions if they want, and they
won't even have to tell their parents.
And
we said, that's a grand idea...
Then
some wise school board member said, since boys will be boys and they're
going to do it anyway, let's give our sons all the condoms they want, so
they can have all the fun they desire, and we won't have to tell their
parents they got them at school.
And
we said, that's another great idea...
Then
some of our top elected officials said it doesn't matter what we do in
private as long as we do our jobs.
And
we said, it doesn't matter what anybody, including the President, does in
private as long as we have jobs and the economy is good...
And
someone else took that appreciation a step further and published pictures of
nude children and then stepped further still by making them available on the
Internet.
And
we said, everyone's entitled to free speech...
And
the entertainment industry said, let's make TV shows and movies that promote
profanity, violence and illicit sex... And let's record music that
encourages rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes...
And
we said, it's just entertainment and it has no adverse effect and nobody
takes it seriously anyway, so go right ahead...
Now
we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't
know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers,
classmates or even themselves.
Undoubtedly,
if we thought about it long and hard enough, we could figure it out. I'm
sure it has a great deal to do with...
"WE
REAP WHAT WE SOW."
Pass
it on if you think it has merit! If not then just discard it...but if you
discard this thought process, then don't you dare sit back and complain
about what bad shape this world is in...

Comments: On Friday, May 14, 2010, I had an opportunity to attend an
event that blessed my heart. The event featured three classes of
students from a Christian school. The "Musical" presentation
featured skits, regular and/or worship songs that made me admire the students
and teachers that presented the "Musical Program". Undoubtedly,
the students presenting such a program were also blessed. Toward the end
of the program, the entire group of students came forward toward the audience
and were singing a song about impacting the Nation. And, then, people
from the audience were invited to go to the students and have them pray for
them. The audience then experienced an awesome demonstration as some of
the adults went forward and had the students pray for them. After the
"Musical Program", I had an opportunity to speak to a Christian
brother and, in essence, I stated that those students not only are learning
the educational curriculum but, also, are being taught about God's Holy Word
that will go with them throughout their lives.
My
Prayer: HEAVENLY FATHER, please allow your Holy Word to return to
the schools throughout this Land, the United States of America. May
children of all ages learn that You, Heavenly Father, through Christ Jesus
love them dearly.
