Good Morning!
“No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able
..." - 1 Corinthians 10:13
Have you ever wondered why bad things seem to happen to good people? There were 3 Hebrew boys in the Third Chapter of Daniel who asked themselves this very question when they refused to worship the idols of the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar. Even though they were threatened with being thrown in a furnace, they held fast in their devotion to God. Their response: "God can spare us from the fiery furnace; He has that power. But, even if He does not, we'll never serve your gods or bow down to your statue."
Were they afraid? Yes, but they chose to trust God even when it made no earthly sense to do so. And, much to the amazement of their captors, God repaid their faith and they were not harmed by the fires in that furnace.
Yes, bad things do happen to good people, but God will never take us through a time of testing that is too tough for us to deal with. No matter how difficult our trials, we can count on His promise. Not one situation is too great for us to face with the power of God. He will give us a way to endure it, to resist it, or to get through it if only we will lean on Him.
