My God is so small

What shall we do with the problem of evil and suffering? Answer One: Accept that the loving and holy God is sovereign over all things, including evil and suffering. God does all things well; he must have his perfect reasons for allowing the evil and inflicting the suffering that he does; as finite creatures we may not understand what those reasons are and in any case they are not to demand that God explain himself just as and when we want. We are called to trust that our loving, holy, sovereign Father really is a loving, holy, sovereign Father. To some, this feels as though 'God is to blame'.
