...dered as
good people, then why should they have horrible things happen? Why should
people who maybe even worship God, and live as best they can in accordance with his commands, get cancer for example? Or suddenly lose a child or spouse? Or have to constantly worry how they will pay the bills month to month?
Isn't God
good?
Doesn't he care?
Yes. Yes he is, and yes he does.
Often with these kinds of questions,
people will point to Job. If you don't know the story of Job, basically in a nutshell, he was a
good, God-fearing man and then Satan challenges God by saying, "stretch out your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face"...
