I wonder the same thing every day.
A woman I know who has been a mentor since I have met her, whose faith has been unquestionable since I have met her, was speaking against allowing the refugees into our country. She feared ISIS attacks.
I pointed out to her that she needs to have faith that everything will happen according to Gods plan, that it is all in His hands and we need to do our part to help those in need, and leave the rest up to God.
Her stance changed for about two weeks and now it's back to fear again. It seems to all boil down to fear and as someone once told me "If you're without faith you are with fear, if you are without fear you are with faith."
Faith in God is not the same thing as foolish.
I know that God will provide for me, yet I get up and go to work everyday, and I don't leave my front door wide open in "faith" thinking that God will protect my belongings.
We don't have brainless compassion, and we don't tempt God. We don't walk across a highway blindfolded thinking God will protect us.
