Does God Really ‘Allow’ All These Bad Things?

During a conversation with a friend I remarked on the

difference between the word allow and the word permit

where the Lord is concerned.  I am so blessed as I

ask the Lord to help me understand His ways and

His heart, how faithful He is…..

I have known for years that God does not ‘allow’

sickness, poverty and pain.  But He does permit

it because in giving mankind ‘free will’ God limits

Himself as His gifts and callings are without

repentance–so He does not violate His own

ways.

Allow means to give full agreement and approval

to something.  Permit just means to give permission.

The Lord does not bring sickness to teach us

something, even though He will bring good

out of what the devil means for evil. (Rom 8:28)

What a blessing to understand the heart of God and what

He wants for us….hope this will help you as it has

impacted my life:
