Why does God let his people hunger? This doesn't just mean physical hunger for bread. It can be the lack of any good thing. This lack can tempt us to question God's goodness. In my case, I've ached for close friendship that was often elusive. There were times when I feared God was being stingy.

Some people have misunderstood God by believing that Jesus is more kind, and his teachings more compassionate, than the God of the Old Testament, whom they see as full of wrath and vengeance.
