When Bad Things Happen to Good People?

Text: Ecclesiastes 8:12–14 -- Speaker: Tony de la Riva -- Job is the very first book of the Bible to be written. Surprisingly, its message is that God is not karma. God is not simply handing out good and bad results according to what we do. The reality is much deeper: God is sovereign, just, and good. The good things in the world are the proof of that—but shockingly, so is the evil. God uses suffering to warn, to refine, and ultimately to do good in peoples' lives. As Solomon wrestles with what looks like injustice, his conclusion is not cynicism but faith—trusting that God will do what is right. -- Woodland Park Bible Church is located in North County, San Diego.
