Bad Things and Good People

My devotion today was about adversity and it came from Isaiah 43:2-3. It talked about how God is not a magic genie and won't make bad things go away, but he will help us endure them. It brings around the question why do bad things happen to good people? When everything is going peachy keen, it's easy for me to accept that we're all bad people and deserve what happens to us. But, when I remember little kids in Africa starving, or sick kids with cancer, I can't help thinking they don't deserve that. I can't help thinking there are a lot of things that happen that no one deserved. Like Jesus being nailed to a cross. He was punished for being the only perfect man. That's the perfect example of a bad thing happening to a good person. I guess the only thing for me to do when I feel life isn't fair, is to look at how he handled life not being fair. He submitted himself to Gods will. It's hard to accept and endure the bad things, but all I need to do is try; because God will be there through it all; and his will is perfect.
