"Where was God"?

I've been watching some of the documentaries about 9/11. One question I repeatedly hear is "Where was God?". Again, people are so quick to blame God, or at least hint at God as the culprit. This right along w/ not really believing in Him in the 1st place. I don't think the question is "Where was God?". Saying God should've stopped the disaster is saying one believes in Him. If you believe in God, then satan must be believed in, also. God says satan exists, and God doesn't/can't lie. #1. Where are people "for" God? Do they pray and trust He knows best in the BIG picture? Do they work on a relationship w/ Him?
Where was satan? There's the question. he was sitting by w/ a big, self-satisfied grin on his ugly face. I wonder if he knows how the "story" ends.
#2 Where was God? He was allowing Free Will to take place. We're not puppets on a string. He wants us to follow Him and love Him of our own "Free Will" (What's love worth if it's forced?). He didn't get in those jets and decide to kill people. He doesn't read His Word and radically, viciously take it out of context or twist its meaning to meet some thoughtless agenda, bending the Truth to justify a lie or cruelty.
God loves us. He has the BIG picture in mind. Eternity!
satan? he has today in mind. 'Cause today he might be able to swing just one person away from The Creator. Today he just might be able to get someone killed the day, hour, minute before they accept Christ and put quite a crimp in their eternity. It's a LONG, LONG time, ya know.
We need to stop pointing the finger at God. How much suffering are WE responsible for? Yep! Each one of us. Did we lie to someone today? That has a consequence for them and us. Did we steal? Uh-huh. A consequence for both. On and on. Do we lose trust in God if our spouse lies to us? Nope. THEN we know where to place blame, and we decide whether to forgive them or not.
Point the finger where it belongs. Blame a CRUEL, hateful, vicious little brat who will hurt us as deeply as we let him, tell us any lie we're willing to believe just to keep us away from LOVE. You're worth WAY more than that.
God waits w/ His Arms open every day. We're just rarely paying attention. Some of us are so twisted due to hate, that we're too busy planning to kill as many people as possible because those people don't believe the same way.
God loves us more than we can imagine. Don't let some radical group that made their own decision to commit a horrid act turn you away from that. The picture is just TOO big for us to fathom. Maybe we won't get a bunch of virgins. We won't have genitalia anyway! But, we will see many of our loved ones, again. And we won't have sorrow, crying nor pain to worry about ever again (Rev. 21:4). We get to spend all that time, so to speak, w/ SomeOne Who will never stop loving us.
Beat that!
