The hand of the eternal God reaches down into our time and our space, grabs hold of us, and hangs onto us here and takes us step by step, inch by inch, through the struggles of life. Non-Christians get cancer. But so do Christians. Atheists are involved in automobile collisions. And so are believers.
Spiritual orphans go bankrupt.
Christians also meet the sherif. Tragedy, decay, aging and death face all members of the human race - believer and unbeliever alike. We are not the product of some wicked fate or the rolling of some cosmic dice cast by a sneering, distant, tyrannical deity. If that were so it would leave us to become very cynical. Things are not out of control.
