This is my first time of participating in this and I am glad to partake of this. The task for the week got my attention and I am happy to be joining in.
Q. "If you could ask God ONE question and God would give you an immediate answer what would the question be and what answer would you want to hear?"
This is a thought-provoking question and the question I would love to ask is "Why are there so many evil in the world, God, when you already told us that you made all things beautiful?"
The answer that I believed that God would give would be based on human choices.
God:
"I made all things beautiful but humans, due to the wickedness of their heart as infiltrated by the devil, they made a mess of my creation. They don't want to follow the ways of truth because they have been deceived by the devil. They want things done their own way without having regard for the things I want. You can't have it both ways. It is either you are for me or you are for the devil and there is no in-between.
The heart of humans are desperately wicked and I am the only one that knows it. Just as the heart of a king is in my heart and I can wield it as I will, still, I will not override human choices. Yes, I am God but I want followers and not servants or robots. I want those who will follow me willingly and I don't need to coarse anyone to do my bidding. That would be an abuse of power and I am God and there is no injustice or imperfection in me.
There are evil in this world because humans are consumed by their own greed. They want to have everything but everything they are running after, I've already promised that I would give it to them. It's either they don't trust my ability to give it to them or they think they can get it by their own power but however it is, humans and patience are not in sync.
I have made everything to go round. If only humans would care enough and then share enough, then the world would have enough. The world has enough of human needs but it's not and can never be enough for human greed.
Most people want to get things for themselves and by themselves to fuel their ego and impress those who are not even looking at them. They want to take credit for their 'success' and leave me out of the equation. They believed they can do whatever they feel like doing but they forgot what I said in my Word - 'A man cannot be saved by the multitude of his army. A mighty man is not delivered by his great strength. A horse is a vain hope for safety and his strength cannot sustain him'. It's never by human power but by my strength.
There is so much evil in the world because humans lack patience, discipline, understanding of my Word and they are greedy. They are displaying the fruits of the devil rather than the fruit of my Spirit. If most people can choose my way and wait for my timing, then we would have less evil in the world. The few righteous ones are still the reason why evil hasn't overtaken the world completely.
The evils you see in the world are man-made evils and only humans can put an end to them by making the right choices. I am near to those who call on me."
Cheers.

Interesting dialogue. I do think that your question deserves an answer, and I think the one you offer is fair.
This is the crux of the matter, truly. God gives us free will, he awaits our intelligent discernment of things and hopes that we make the best decision. I love, LOVE, it that you write that God doesn’t want to abuse his power - how thoughtful! Lovely discussion❤️💕🤗
Thank you so much and I am happy to read your response, even. Yes, He has given us free will and He hopes we make the best decisions with our free will.
❤️💕🤗
Hi @gingerup
I believe this question has been asked by many at various stages in their lives as a result of a phase they are passing through or conditions surrounding them. Rightfully said God made all things beautiful and basically because of man's fallen nature evil comes naturally to us but those that have been renewed and reborn have the power to go against this nature which is more prevalent in this dispensation.
Nicely written! Thank you for participating in the QOTW!
That's right. Our choices made a mess of the beauty God has bestowed on the world. Thank you so much. I really appreciate your support and your contribution.
This is an interesting dialogue with you and God and this is a good question. Even the Bible says, we cannot serve two masters. We cannot serve God and mammon. It's either we choose one which God has given us the free will to choose our path. Humans are greedy but God detests that. He wants those who will follow Him wholeheartedly and not those who dips one leg in and out. Thank you for posting in the EcoTrain community.
That's true. God doesn't do lukewarm nature. It is either we are for Him or against Him. Thank you for this contribution and support. It means a lot.
Exactly. It's left to us to choose our path.
☺️☺️
Of course.
