Understandable Message: One of the universal questions of life is: why do bad things happen to good people? As we look around at the devastation left by the recent tornadoes in our area, why are uncomfortably confronted with this universal question. Acknowledging that we can only skim the surface of this age-old question, we looked at the life of Job as he pondered this same question. We discovered that even though you can’t hear God doesn’t mean He isn’t working, and just because you can’t see him doesn’t mean that he isn’t there. After losing his family, livelihood, and health, Job has a transformational experience with God after which he says, “How wonderful are your ways.” We learned that often what hurts in the beginning, helps in the end.
