Good Shepherd Lutheran Church / Tuesday, November 24, 2020 / Categories: Publications, Daily Devotions Daily Devotion Sue Berkoben We often ask, “Why do bad things have to happen to good people?” We will never fully understand that, but we can be encouraged by Jesus’ words in John 16:33, “In this world, you will have trials and tribulation, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world.” What about the young father who dies from injuries as a result of a automobile accident? Where is the good in that? Nobody will ever have an exact answer for that, but maybe it shows a merciful God who let the young father come home to heaven instead of spending a miserable, painful life here on earth. What about the mother who was diagnosed with breast cancer? Where is the good in that? However, in a routine MRI, a malignant brain tumor was discovered resulting in a surgery that saved her life and treatment that put the breast cancer in remission. We have to have faith that no matter what happens; God is always caring for us! It just might not be in the way we were expecting. In Isaiah 55:8-9, God said, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways”.
