Tempting to Blame God

It's tempting to blame God for so many things that go "wrong". I think it--the thing about God being the mastermind behind any misery I'm facing at the current moment. But really, how can that possibly be true? I mean, that's like saying that I can know the mind of God, I can know what the outcome is of the thing that I perceive as wrong, like saying that I am smarter or God is retarded somehow.



I guess that's why God does us the favor of making things in all sizes and ages. If we are paying attention we can see how we are like the toddler we prevent from sticking his finger in an outlet. Or maybe how we guide a pet out of danger. I guess I just need to pray for eyes that can see the bigger picture, for ears that can hear the still small voice and wisdom to wait on making the judgment of "wrong".
