As I was watching the Islamic sermon on TV, the preacher was preaching on thirty signs of the end of the world, one of them being the increase in peoples’ participation in witchcraft, relying on superstition to solve their problems instead of holding their faith to God who is the supreme of all.
I strongly support this notion of depending on God for problems which is not humanly solvable, since he is above all. He is the creator and since no one can win against him, he is the best team to join. Unlikely, majority of the people in the society we live depend on very different things to run their daily lives. Most of the people embrace witchcraft on several matters like business success, relationships, man to man rivalries, and other areas of life which God was supposed to be the only point of reference when one needs help on.
For the first time, I look at the issue on broader level by trying to understand the reason why people fail to choose siding with God on solving different life tragedies. The ability to evaluate an issue on both sides, gives strength to any argument before reaching into conclusion on any matter.
When a person encounters a problem, he became desperate to find an immediate solution. God promises to help anyone with any problem, but he does that in his own way. He never allow anyone to give specifications and manuals on how he is supposed to help. And more than that, you don’t tell him when to deliver that help. For his ways, even no response to your call of help is considered some kind of help by the spiritual leaders trying to explain why God does what he does. They might say, by not directly respond to your call, he gives you a chance to see the matter in broad level and get wisdom to accordingly.
On another side, people have already in mind of what they want. And there are several means available to get exactly what they have In mind, within the exact limit of time of their choice. Since the problem is burning and there is a great personal need for solution, people goes for the helper who is seem to receive orders and deliver what is needed right on time. They doesn’t opt for God’s help as they know that it requires much of a sacrifice of not knowing what time will take for it to be answered, in which form is he going to answer or if he is going to answer it at all.
I don’t think they mean to disrespect him by choosing other means of solutions, but my point is, when encountered with a burning problem, the only priority is to solve the issue in immediately and accurately according to what their present mind state tells them at a particular moment. It is not that God’s solutions are not accurate, the people in trouble wants to do something about the trouble, because the history tells him that his actions can bring the solutions he desires, but God brings whatever solution he as Gog deems appropriate without any explanations. Even if he is going to offer exactly what you want, it is from the proper way of asking him, praying on a regular basis, being nice to the people, helping those in need and others which most of the people especially when in an immediate need of solving a problem, see it as a complicated way around
