When we face death, our definition of God is challenged. Which in turn challenges our faith. Which leads me to ask a grave question. Why is it that we interpret the presence of death as the absence of God? Why do we think that if the body is not healed, then God is not near? Is healing the only way God demonstrated His presence?
Sometimes we think so and as a result when God doesn’t answer our prayers for healing, we get angry. Resentful blame replaces belief. “If You had been here, doing Your part, God, then this death would not have happened.”
It’s distressing that this view of God has no place for death.
