WHEN GOOD AND BAD SEEM U

NEQUAL — GOD’S HIGHER PURPOSE

   One of life’s hardest questions is why good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people. Jesus addressed this tension in Matthew 5:44–48, teaching that God causes His sun to rise on both the evil and the good. This reveals a powerful truth: God is good by nature, and His love for humanity is not determined by circumstances. He calls us to be perfect—mature in love and character—just as our Father in heaven is perfect.

     Job was described as blameless and upright, yet he experienced severe calamity (Job 1:21). His story reminds us that the worst can happen to the best because evil exists in the world and Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Still, Job’s response shows the right posture of faith: “Naked I came… and naked shall I return.” Jesus echoed this truth when He said life does not consist in the abundance of possessions (Luke 12:15).

    We must be careful not to conclude that suffering means someone is cursed. Through Jesus Christ, broken situations are reversible—that is why He commanded healing and restoration in Matthew 10:8. Zechariah the priest was declared righteous yet remained childless for years, (Luke 1:13 ) but this did not stop his faithful service to God. Our service should not depend on visible rewards.

    Do not allow possessions or situations to define you. You are a child of the Most High, blessed with every spiritual blessing, and most importantly, your name is written in heaven (Luke 10:20). That eternal assurance matters more than temporary circumstances.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome depression. Lord, help me trust Your goodness beyond what I see and serve You faithfully in every season. Amen.
