Sometimes life gets so difficult that we wish God would leave us alone. Don't worry; He never will. Just ask David.
We like to trumpet things that we do, but not God. In fact, even we have yet to see all of His true wisdom. He does His most wondrous works in secret.
The presence of the phrase "not feignedly is [the authority] wearing the sword" in Romans 13:4 is proof (among other proofs) that the authorities of Romans 13:1-7 are not the apostles.
When it comes to being subject to superior authorities, people ceaselessly try to ply me with, "Yeah, but what if the government..." Such faithless people—really. So hard to actually believe Romans chapter 13, I guess.
Even some believers will do anything and take any Scripture out of context to avoid recognizing that God has placed government over them and that they are to be subject to that government, so that they might lead a mild and quiet life in accord with the injunction of the apostle Paul.
From people who should know better comes another transparent, weak and unscriptural attempt to excuse believers from having to subject themselves to civil authorities.
There is a finite number of human beings, dogs, cats, and flies that God intends to bring into the eonian times. Why should this comfort us and why is it important for the glory of God?
One of the reasons that Christians can't accept the plain statement in Isaiah 46:10 that God creates evil, is because they assume that evil is sin. What if it can be proven that evil is NOT sin. Well, here's the proof.
When God is finished using sin and death for His good purposes (and all His purposes are good), then sin and death are abolished, leaving only the glorious realizations (salvation and life) that they produced.
Christians will never SAY that sin threw God for a loop (because they're hypocrites), but this is their precise theology.
