With so much evil in the world, how can Christian parents and grandparents explain why God allows it and all the suffering that goes with it? All children need do is watch the evening news and see how many horrible things are happening around the world. They might wonder why God is allowing all this evil since God is good. It’s hard to answer such questions for your children and grandchildren when the world doesn’t make sense, but God is behind all of human history and is working it out for His purpose and our good and their good too, and we need to remind children that God is still on His throne and nothing is catching Him off guard. He is never surprised by anything that happens. He knows the beginning to the end, and He’s got this. What a great time to remember that “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD” (Jer 17:7). We can trust God more than we can trust our own eyes.
