Problems and difficulties come to everyone in this life. You may be doing the best that you can, but none of us are exempt from the problems of life. Have you ever had that experience when everything seemed to be going wrong in your life? Right living is no guarantee that you will have no problems. No one is exempt.
Consider all the bad things that can happen to you in life. Bad things sooner or later happen to everyone. Living a righteous life provides no exemption. Consider the life of Jesus. He was a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief.
The Bible makes it clear that God is sovereign. He is also good. When bad things happen, you ask, "Why?" God never promised you exemption from problems, pain, and suffering. He does promise to bring good out of it all. When bad things happen, wait for the rest of the story.
"All things come alike to all.
One event happens to the righteous and the wicked,
to the good, the clean and the unclean;
to him who sacrifices and to him who does not sacrifice."
Ecclesiastes 9:2
"And we know that all things work together for good
to those who love God, to those who are the called
according to His purpose."
Romans 8:28
