It amazes me how the devil always seems to pick on those who do the most good. The question constantly comes up "why do bad things happen to good people". Some of the best people I know (who may not admittedly be the best Christians) seem to be the ones going through the most garbage, whether it be death, family issues, or debt. While I don't pretend to know the answers because this stuff even forces me to ask God "why" I think there is encouragement in these situations.
In the Old Testament Habakkuk cries out to God, "How long, O Lord, must I call for help? But you do not listen! Violence is everywhere! I cry, but you do not come to save. Must I forever see these evil deeds? Why must I watch all this misery?"
God's response? "Look around at the nations; look and be amazed! For I am doing something you wouldn't believe even if someone told you about it."
Just wait on the Lord...see what happens...you wouldn't believe what He can do in your life even if I told you.
