If God refines us through suffering...

I know some people watched The Prodigy and it changed their lives... I'm not one of them. It's a fascinating plot acted out by what looks like the night class of a "complete your GED in 4 weeks" school. But sometimes, when you sift through enough mud, you find a gold nugget.

The question that this film asks, perhaps more succinctly than I've heard it asked before is, "If God refines us through suffering, then why blame the devil at all?"

If an omnipotent God is in control of our world and involved in our lives... and we experience pain or loss or death... isn't it ultimately His responsibility?

What do you think?
