"Why Bad Things Happens to Good People?"

And Joshua said, “Alas, Lord God, WHY have You brought this people over the Jordan at all—to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? ….” Joshua 7:7. The Oasis of Hope Devotional for 2day! Why do bad things happen to good people? Why is there so much hurt & pain in d world and in our lives?
Why do innocent children die? Why do thousands starve to death? Why do natural disasters come & destroy? Why is there disease? If God is just & loving how could God permit His people to be afflicted with needless pain & hardship?

Beloved, it has been said that all of us occupy only three positions in life: Getting ready to go into a storm, being in d middle of a storm, or just coming out of a storm. God isn't offended when we ask questions in our despair. He wants us to come to Him when we're confused. So bring yo heartfelt questions and ask Him to help u understand. But be prepared to accept His answers, even if they're not what u expected to hear. And whatever u don't understand, acknowledge His authority, knowing that He loves u, and is able to give u mercy and grace to help in time of need. Friend, d problems we face will either overwhelm or develop us. Thus, d path of joy is determined by how we respond to them. Determine d reason for d storm-Maybe a bad decision u made? Bad advice u received? Sin? Or perhaps u are not growing in faith & practice, and God needs yo attention. Deal with d problem; u cannot solve any problem by ignoring it! Confess yo sins. Refuse to be bitter. Praise God & believe He will turn things around. Let His Word speaks promises to u every day. Read & take those promises to heart. Get on yo knees & seek Him asking Him for guidance every step of d way. Yo faith in God’s promises is yo source of strength in times of trouble. He has not abandoned u, and yo sun can still shine again. Whatever trouble u’re going through, God is always with u. “And call on me in the day of trouble: I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.” Ps. 50:15. Prayer: O God of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego, appear in my situation today, in Jesus name.

Hav a Revived Wednesday!
U will overcome!
 Shalom.
