They will get food and water but will they save their souls.

John 4:13-14 (New International Version)

13Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

[Focault's Pendulum]

They will get food and water but will they save their souls.

I don't think their souls are an immediate concern.

God must truly work in mysterious ways. In this case, it's an apparent dis-concern for the suffering of his people.
