You don't know the situation, none of us do. Personally I believe that God uses most of his powers on keeping Heaven/the afterlife/whatever dimension He is in safe and awesome and in his complete control.
And that Earth is seen the same way that we look at...Somalia, perhaps.
He had to take an L on Earth, but the afterlife is probably a way better place.
"Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven." But Earth sucks balls and some of the worst things can't be His will.
I also think maybe God (not trying to be blasphemous here, just speculating) is not QUITE as all-powerful as we think. In that he would certainly like for things to be a little better on Earth but it's a shit show and the Devil is as clever as he is evil.
Seems like many people here think God is some kind of limited being.
This is where we differ.
God is unlimited.
Now, there are many spiritual entities hanging around and some of them may be referred to as a god, but they are not The God.
If, when you think of God, you imagine a human being with superpowers, a man with a long white beard sitting on a cloud, then that's not God.
It might be Zeus or somebody.
Anyway, I've already accepted that as a human being, the concept of God is greater than I can compute.
I could tell you what I believe but it's a bit "out there." I take a more Eastern view of God, the universe, and Jesus Christ.
Many people here would probably not agree with me, but it works. And I do believe it's scripturally supported, if you use the New Testament. Not the OT.
He's aware and does nothing.
What other ways is there to use it? 🤔

God doesn't need to expend effort to keep heaven under wraps. Thy will be done.
But he certainly allows Satan to roam free on earth and work tirelessly trying to deceive us into siding with him over God.

Um, no.
