How Could God?

Below is a video from a campaign called "I Am Second" featuring a young man named Blake and the difference he chose to make in his school by raising money to dig wells rather than everyone buy great costumes for Homecoming. I love the question he asks...one of those "how could God" questions. It is so easy to see the suffering around the world and ask "How could God allow such pain?" However, Blake asks two very courageous questions, "How could we allow ourselves to be so distracted" and "How could God allow us to be so affluent?" What if the very God whom we blame for not fixing the problems of our world has actually blessed us to be a blessing and to make a difference in His Name with the vast resources and affluence he has given us? Check out the video here. What if I could give up those exercises of affluence I take part in, so that someone else could benefit?
