Daily Java: For we know that God is always at work for the good of everyone who loves him. Romans 8:28.
Stuff happens and we know it does regardless of whether we are Christians or not. When it really comes down to uit, life is just a collection of stuff happening. And most of it is bad.
We always have the idea that if God is in charge and in control and we are good, things will go well. But that isn’t the case. You don’t have to look very far in the Bible to see that it didn’t matter if a person was godly or not. He or she had bad things happen to them.
After all, look at Job. Job’s problem was that he was the focus of a bet between God and the devil. The devil said that if bad things happened to him he would fall apart and quit serving God. God said he wouldn’t and used Job as an object lesson.
Bad things happen all the time and many times there is no reason. God doesn’t make them happen because the Word says that God does not send bad things. They come from the devil.
But God can take those bad things that happen to us and make them turn out good if we love him and trust him. He is in control.
That is the key to living your life in the midst of pain and suffering and everything else that happens bad: God is in control and can take your bad to make good happen.
After all, he is God. Not an easy thing, but true.

You are welcome to say anything you want as long as it is nice. If I don't like it, or it is ugly, I will take it off, place it into the garbage disposal, grind it up, and allow it to be flushed into the Gulf of Mexico where it will be eaten by a fish and then excreted where it will lie on the bottom of the ocean until it is covered up by other comments.
