“Who can command things to happen without the Lord’s permission? Does not the Most High send both calamity and good?
Then why should we, mere humans, complain when we are punished for our sins? Instead, let us test and examine our ways. Let us turn back to the Lord.
Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith.”
{Lamentations 3:37-40; 2 Corinthians 13:5}
