What Is God Doing?

For example, some might wish for God to be an executioner whose primary function is to bring swift punishment on the perpetrator of some wrong. Others view God as little more than a celestial Santa Clause, whose role is to bestow gifts-a job, a spouse, or even a winning lottery ticket.

Both of those views assume that if God  does not bring justice immediate. or if he does not grant the favor we ask, then he  must be  insensitive to our suffering and unaware of our needs.  Nothing, though, could be further from the truth! The fact is, at this very moment, Jehovah God is working to provide for the entire human family, yet not in a way that many are asking for.

What is God doing, then?  To answer that question, we need to look back to the beginning of human history when mankind's relationship with God was severely damaged-but not beyond repair.
