Is Life Fair? Why Does God Let Bad Things Happen to the Righteous?

Please call in with examples from the Bible and your own life.  I expect lots of different views on this program as we look at the sovereignty of God.  Are obedient believers guaranteed protection from the devil? Does disease indicate sin and judgment? Is God faithful to make all circumstances always good for a righteous person? When bad things happen, is it because God willed them to happen? If you please God, are you guaranteed prosperity and health? Does God allow good people to suffer affliction or attack? Will God protect the righteous and yet judge the nation? Does God allow satan to afflict obedient Christians? Is life always fair?  Call in for personal prophecy or prayer.
