Many are angry at the Lord for things they believe he could have prevented. And they often ask, how can a good God allow terrible things to happen?

We have a sovereign God with a sovereign will, “who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will.” Ephesians 1:11

At the same time, we have the commanded will of God that directs what we should do and not do. When we or someone else breaks the commanded will of God, they or we are sinning. Sin separates us from God. And since we also have a just God, He can not go against His nature. Yes, He is good, but He is also just.

O’ Lord, help us to see “You have dealt well with Your servant, O Lord, according to Your word.” Psalm 119:65
