Why Do Good People Suffer?
September 28th 2011 00:30
It is funny (meaning peculiar, not humorous) how many people are lightening fast to point their finger at God for all the bad things that happen in life yet are slow or missing in action to say thank you for a blessing.
God does allow bad things to happen, but he does not make them happen. Why would He allow it? For a couple of reasons:
• Sometimes people have to be faced with something horrible in order for them to turn to God. They can be so caught up in their own world and selfishness that they never talk to God much less learn of Him, study His word and work to prove themselves worthy to spend eternity with Him. Yet, when their life turns to chaos they decided He is worth their time to speak to in order to ask for help.
Bottom line is this, Satan influences this world and he is hard at work trying to hurt and destroy as many souls as he can by his evil ways as his time is short and his days are numbered. We all are here to choose who we will follow to make sure that evil doesn't occur in heaven again. God allows it touch our lives because if it didn't we could never choose- it would be too one sided. We have to have the influence of both. The question is, will you believe the truth about good and evil or will you believe the lie that Satan has planted in his children which has spread since the days of Noah that God is responsible for such pain and trials that we face leaving Satan out of the equation.
