"Hope, the Bread of Adversity and the Water of Affliction"! #649 Wk. of 12,24

Scripture tells us that God causes everything; does He?  All things?  He does get blamed for everything doesn't He?  If so, why does He cause everything?  It is true that many, many people experience a lot of adversity and affliction.  Did God cause this too?  

Let's add to this, these two short questions, "Do you believe it?  Can you receive it?"  I love these two questions.  Your answers to these two questions lead to your understanding of whether God causes everything.  Well, I've really opened it up this time.  

I will give some foundation for people who are struggling with cause and effect, especilaly those who do not generally know where to get direction when wading through unwanted circumstances.  At the same time, I'll give direction that will lead you to new ways of looking at this entire subject.
