A: Nothing ever catches God by surprise; He knows everything that’s going to happen to us. As the Psalmist wrote, “His understanding has no limit” (Psalm 147:5). Why, then, doesn’t He intervene and keep evil things from happening to us? This isn’t an easy question to answer; God is far greater than we are, and His wisdom is far ...
