Rescue Radio With Marjorie Cole

If God is so good, then why ___? (fill in the blank) No subject raises more confusion and contains the seeds for more discouragement in our relationship with God than this question. We could rehearse all the standard complaints against God, but do we really understand the constraints God is under in His dealings with us? He has given us a free will and we are allowed to exercise it, either to our benefit or for our detriment. If we believe Satan's lies that challenge God's goodness and do not know our true identity, we have already been captured by the Enemy of our souls. God is here to reveal His goodness and deliver us from evil. So many times, we are looking at what things look like in the moment and do not consider the long-term outcomes of our suffering. If King David, John the Baptist, Joseph, the Prince of Egypt, Paul the Apostle, and countless other people whose sufferings are described in the Bible would have judged God as not good, or looked at the trouble they were in, they would have lost heart.
