Read Job, it might answer a few questions why God does not interfere in our every day life. The bible revolves around Abraham and the Jewish people. Abraham had faith to trust and believe God, so God made a covenant with him that he would have many decedents and become a great nation and through that nation God would bless the world and the Jews were suppose to give the world the Gospel. The Jews were a stubborn lot and often went astray worshiping false gods and had to be punished a number of times. The Jews wanted a king to rule over them, not wanting to listen to priests and prophets any more. So God granted their wish for a period of time to rule themselves, knowing they would make a mess of it, but He would not interfere for a given period of time, that time is soon to be over and Jesus will set up His Kingdom to rule over this earth with a rod of iron. Satan has full reign over this earth, (with certain boundaries he can't cross) so he and his demons can cause all kinds of trouble for man. When this earth reaches a given amount of time and evil reaches a certain level, God will step in and take over from Satan. Man's heart is evil and will bow to most temptations that Satan will throw at him, only when we accept the sacrifice that Jesus did on the cross to pay for our sins, will we be given a heart of flesh and turn from our wicked ways. The bible says not all those that say Lord, Lord will enter Heaven. God knows our hearts, man may fool man in saying he is a Christian but is not, and will still do evil things for his own pleasure and gain, but Jesus said, get thee from me, I never knew you. He also told some Christian churches that they were lukewarm and He will spew them out of His mouth. He also said many will come in His name saying they are the Christ, but they are false christs. I am not going to name any denominations or religions that are false, but by their fruit you can know them.
