trusting God

September 29, 2004

I recently had a discussion during which the age-old question arose: If God is so good, why do so many bad things happen? It’s a question that’s not easily answered and it can be approached from various angles. Personally, I wonder how many bad things don’t happen because God is so good.

James 1:2 assures us we WILL face trials in life. No one likes trials, but at least they cause growth. There is always a purpose and always hope. And as Romans 8:28 reminds us, “all things work together for the good of those who love God…” (emphasis mine).

It’s all about trust. Despite not knowing “why,” it’s about choosing to believe God is in control regardless of what happens. It’s resting in the promise of God, not circumstances.
