Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People?

~Walking In The Light~

How often have you heard someone say, “That’s not fair, life is not fair, or God is not Fair”. What does it mean to be “fair”?

When we see tragedy occurring throughout the world, or we experience something in our life that hurts, we sometimes ask, “Why do bad things happen to good people?

In spite of what you see happening in our world, or in your life, know that your complete faith and trust must be in God. Nothing happens in our life unless God ordains it, or allows it. God is good, and know that whatever happens, he is working it for our good.

We are not the first generation to experience disasters, tragedy, or have suffered at the hands of someone with evil intentions. Oftentimes, God allows these things to happen because we are being disciplined, or its part of a greater plan.

For example, remember what happened to Joseph when his brothers threw him in the pit? They meant it for “evil”, but God allowed it to happen for “good”. Joseph went from the pit to the palace, so he could be in a position to help the people survive the famine.

There are many things our minds will never quite understand. When some of us see suffering, catastrophic events, or what is perceived as “unfair”, we are quick to say “Why doesn’t God do something?”. Actually, what you see happening, is God doing something for a greater purpose than we know. Rest assured, God still has everything under control.

God is not fair. He is absolutely Excellent! God is a just God.

In this Episode, we will look at a small book in the Bible, the book of Habakkuk (haa-buh-kuhk), It will help us answer the question, “Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People”?
