From Biblical times to the present, people have often thought that if God was pleased with them, then good things would happen to them. If you experienced trials and troubles then you must have done something “wrong”. That is not the message of the New Testament. It is not the example we are given in Christ’s life.

Good things are not rewards nor are bad things punishment. Both can be used to deepen our relationship with God.

How do you see the good and bad things in your life? Do you see them as opportunities to grow closer to God?
