Last Saturday at church, our reading was from Psalm 73. It
was the question that most of us ask to God, “Why do good things happen to bad
people and why do bad things happen to good people?” It was a really
interesting question. However for me, the more interesting thing is that
sometimes, without realizing it, we see ourselves good/even better than other
people while actually we all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God
(Romans 3:23). I’m just going to use “I” instead of “we” in these next few
sentences, because I do believe that these next few words are for me. Sometimes
I thought I get good things because I do good things. That’s not how it works.
God gives me good things because HE IS good. God doesn’t differentiate the
righteous and the unrighteous. Of course we (believers) will have eternal life
once we accept Him as our God and live according to His will but, God is good
to everyone. The question that we must ask ourselves or let me say the question
that I have to ask…
