If
God Is So Good, WHY
Do Bad Things Happen to His People?
Romans
5:1-5 Therefore
being justified by faith, we have peace
with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
[2] By whom also we have access by faith
into this grace wherein we stand, and
rejoice in hope of the glory of God. [3]
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations
also: knowing that tribulation worketh
patience; [4] And patience, experience;
and experience, hope: [5] And hope maketh
not ashamed; because the love of God is
shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy
Ghost which is given unto us. [KJV]
Sickness, war, accidents, natural disasters,
tragedies; come to all peoples; the just
and the unjust, the believer and the non-believer,
the moral and the immoral. But, if God
is so good and all-powerful, why doesn’t
He just wipe out evil things in this world?
This question often arises after any tragedy.
It is important to remember that God originally
created the world perfect. But He also
gave man the freedom to obey or disobey.
When Adam sinned, death and suffering
became an inevitable part of life.
Romans
5:12 Wherefore, as by one
man sin entered into the world, and death
by sin; and so death passed upon all men,
for that all have sinned: [KJV]
As
C. S. Lewis observed: “It
is idle for us to speculate about the
origin of evil.”
The problem we all face is the fact of
evil. The only solution to the fact of
evil is God’s solution, Jesus Christ.
How??
is Jesus Christ the solution to the fact
of evil? The moment you surrender your
life to Jesus, you enter into the master
plan that God has prepared for you. Although
you may not know what the future holds,
you know Who holds the future. And He
has promised that all things work together
for good to those that love God (Romans
8:28). Not just the good things, but all
things.
Scripture
says, “Everything serves God’s
plans” (Psalm 119:91). That is easy
for us to say when things are going smoothly.
But when something unexpected comes into
the picture, we may wonder: “Is
God is paying attention? Is He watching?
Does He really know what’s going
on?”
That’s
when we should consider that God is painting
on a huge canvas. He looks at the big
picture, whereas we only see what’s
in front of us at the particular moment.
God will allow many events to come into
our life . . . good things, bad things,
things that make sense, and some things
that make no sense at all (to us). But
every one of these incidents in our lives
serves only as a part of His plan for
us.
Tragedy
in itself is not good. But, God can take
that tragedy and hardship and use them
for His glory. As God’s children,
we know that everything that happens to
us first goes through His screen of protection.
He will never give us more than we can
handle. 1 Cor. 10:13 There
hath no temptation taken you but such
as is common to man: but God is faithful,
who will not suffer you to be tempted
above that ye are able; but will with
the temptation also make a way to escape,
that ye may be able to bear it. [KJV]
For that reason we can follow the advice
in Romans 5:3 and rejoice. We have the
assurance that God is working in our lives
to strengthen and develop our character.
More important, He will never
leave our side! Any time that
God shuts a door --- He’ll open
a window for us! With Him by our side,
we can bear anything that comes our way!
TRUST
HIM in ALL things!
You will NOT be sorry!
