Do you remember the children's song.... "He's got the whole world in His hands?"
The simplicity of the melody and text tries to overcome a complex and often troubling reality of how to reconcile a troubling and suffering world with a loving God. This is the question that many wrestle with. If God is good, loving, etc., then why... fill in the blank.
Such a study is entitled Theodicy. And while it is a very large concept and a deep question to discuss, we want to step into this conversation this Sunday at Tabernacle UMC. As part of our 'Questions' series, we are seeking to find an answer to our question of, "why is there suffering in the world?"
The hymn writer reminds us that, 'this is my Father's world.' Join us as we seek truth together.
