God is a Father, not a mother-in-law

A thought occurred to me a few years ago about people blaming God for not interfering in a situation to prevent what they percieve to be a disaster. There have been people who say that we don't know the whole picture and just need to trust God, and they are right to a high degree. But there is more to see here.

What is it that we ignore when we do this to God?

Suppose you had a relative or friend (I'll say mother-in-law because of the cliche and to be tongue in cheek. My mil is a wonderful lady) who was constantly interfering uninvited. You'd be pretty angry, wouldn't you. Or even if it wasn't constant, but she just did it once. You'd still be angry if the advice or action was not asked for. And you'd be justified in that.

So why be angry at God when He DOESN'T do that? He waits to be invited. Isn't it a contradiction to be angry at Him for NOT doing something you'd be angry at others if they DID do? So the church isn't the only place where there's "hypocrites" (BTW, only the world sees true Christians as hypocrites. God Himself knows and tells us that we're not perfect, and so do we).
