Why do bad things happen to good people?  How many times have I heard that question...? Lots... How many times have you heard that question? Probably lots as well...but.. you know something... in all my 76 years... I have never heard anyone ever ask this other question... why do bad things happen to bad persons?

So I ask myself.... how come is that? I begin to see some things...so... then I ask God... how come is that?

...What I am now going to try to communicate out of my conversation with the Lord... will seem like complete foolishness to anyone's natural mind... that is because everything that is spiritual seems like total foolishness to my natural mind... that's just how it is.

The answer to the question is simply that bad things happen all the time to everybody... whether we are good... bad... indifferent... nobody is exempt... they happen all the time to all of us...

...besides....those words are only relative anyway... especially since I seem to be the one who decides what is good... bad... or indifferent... I am the great determinator... all because I ate from that other tree in the middle of the garden...

So the further explanation of "why bad things happen to everybody?" .. is that Satan is the ruler of this world that we live in... and the kingdoms of Satan's world are engaged in a cosmic war of huge proportions beyond anything we can think or imagine... he is at war with the Kingdom of God... especially with God's King Jesus... not too mention those who represent His King in this world...

Satan is here to destroy everything God has created and called good... especially you and me and everybody else... we have been born into a world at war...

That does not mean life is hopeless... or I am helpless... God has a plan... He has already won... Satan just doesn't get it... for now anyway...
