God Does Whatever Pleases Him


This is a quote from Crazy Love, by Francis Chan:

Psalm 115:3 says, “Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.”  Yet, we keep on questioning Him.  We ask, “Why did You make me with this body instead of that one?” “Why are so many people dying of starvation?” “Why are there so many planets with nothing living on them?” “Why is my family so messed up?” “Why don’t You make Yourself more obvious to the people who need You?”  The answer to each of these questions is simply this:  because He’s God. He has more of a right to ask us why so many people are starving. As much as we want God to explain Himself to us, His creation, we are in no place to demand that He give an account to us. 
Daniel 4:35 “All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing, He does as He pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of earth. NO one can hold back his hand or say to him: ‘What have you done?’” 

Can you worship a God who isn’t obligated to explain His actions to you?
