Your Question:
Why did God let my doctor betray me?
Answer:
The question of why God allows evil to be perpetrated by those who are supposed to be helping us. This is a complex and deeply personal issue, one that I've grappled with in my own life as a pastor and a husband. When I read about the doctor who used his words to hurt and betray his patients, I'm reminded of the times when I've felt hurt and betrayed by others. In my own marriage, I've seen times when my wife Susan and I have hurt each other with our words. As I reflect on these experiences, I'm struck by the realization that God doesn't always intervene in the way we expect Him to. He doesn't always heal us or fix our problems right away. But that doesn't mean He's not working. In fact, He often works through the people and circumstances we encounter, even when they're difficult or painful. This is a hard truth to accept, but it's one that has helped me to understand God's sovereignty and His love for us, even in the midst of suffering. In the passage you shared, it seems that the doctor was a complex and multifaceted individual, with his own struggles and limitations. And yet, he was still responsible for his actions, and he still had to answer to God for the harm he caused. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with unforgiveness and bitterness towards those who have hurt them. But I've also seen the power of forgiveness and the healing that can come when we choose to forgive and let go. It's a process that takes time and effort, but it's one that can bring us closer to God and to each other.
