But I stumbled on God's word and seem to find a strong consolation in Acts 17: 24-30. But the emphasis is on 26 - 28. It says
"And he created all the people of the world from one man, Adam, and scattered the nations across the face of the earth. He decided beforehand which should rise and fall and when. He determined their boundaries" v 26 (The Living Bible)
This is quite explanable. Nations rise and fall. People as well. Some are poor others are rich. Some are born well and died bad. Others the opposite. Some never tasted suffering. Other never taste luxury. Some ladies get advances from rich men only and yet are not half as beautiful as other who suffer dehumanization from their husbands. Some countries are blessed yet corrupt. Some want to be free but were born into tyranny. The inequality seems so unexplanable and vast. But the next verse of the scripture show like. It says
"His purpose in all of this is that they should seek after God, and perhaps feel their way towards him and find him - though he is not far from any one of us" . v 27 (The Living Bible).
Which ever version of the bible you read, the sense is the same.
God intended to give us different abilities, put us in different levels, give us different resources, varying platforms and economy. He gave no man everything in totality just for one purpose - That we may seek him with the great hope to find him. And for real, he is not very far from us because in him we live, move and have our existence (being). v 29.
Some, on getting confuse have attributed the diversity of the world to chance - they call themselves atheist.
Others, have accepted where they found themselves - they are complacent.
But it is glaring, we were born with a quest, God search.
So to all God-seekers, I say well done. Strive to keep your relationship with God because every other thing (world events, economy, relationship) is trying to steer you look away from you maker.
May God be magnified, Amen.
