Trust Him Only

Do only good things happen to good people?  

The answer is no. 

When your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, then your heart will become proud and you will forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. (Deut. 8:13-14) 

Do Christians have car accidents? Do they get cancer? Or are they find out that they have a sexual problem? The answer to all three questions is, of course, yes. But that answer causes big problems for some new Christians. Doesn’t the Bible promise that God will look out for and protect his followers? How can such bad things occur? 

Christian people puzzled by such questions often refer to Old Testament books where God clearly promised success and protection to the Israelites. In Deuteronomy, Moses spelled out God’s promises in complete detail. Israelite wives would have many babies. All the crops—grain, grapes, olive trees—would produce bountifully. Cattle and sheep would multiply. And Moses even included this extraordinary promise: “The LORD will keep you free from every disease” (Deut. 7:15a). 

Be brave, God lets bad things also happen to good people, so that they look up to Him. 

Trust Him only.

@Erick: My Answer

Do only good things happen to good people? Just Ask to Opa Ayub aka Om Ajub aka Job... He knew better about how bad things happen to him. In my opinion, God allows everything happen to us. Both good and bad things.. If God allows those, It doesn't mean that God creates the bad things.. Everything God did and does is very very Good.. Perfect lah.. Everything happen simply for God's purpose only. We can hope safely that God's purpose is the best for us. Why do Jesus die and suffer? Just simply for God's purpose.. So, if we suffer for God's purpose, Do not fear and do not worry.., We are united with Christ in his death and also in his Resurrection. No other things can separate us from the God's Love. Neither Death or Life, Happy or Sad, Diseases or Healthy, or anything. "You can do everything because you're The Hero"
