Chris.
God will sometimes allow evil to come upon a people because He Loves them and yet they are far away from Him. It is sometimes possible that God may call people to Himself by allowing evil to happen. There will always be one of three responses in people when God sends evil, or allows evil to come. Firstly, they realise their need of God. Secondly, they become angry and bitter towards God. Thirdly, they become confused.
