"When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people's hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong. Although a wicked person who commits a hundred crimes may live a long time, I know that it will go better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him. Yet because the wicked do not fear God, it will not go well with them, and their days will not lengthen like a shadow.
There is something else meaningless that occurs on earth: the righteous who get what the wicked deserve, and the wicked who get what the righteous deserve. This too, I say, is meaningless. So I commend the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany them in their toil all the days of the life God has given them under the sun."
so there you have it...the answer to the age old question....."Why do bad things happen to good people and why do good things happen to bad people?"
the answer here in Ecclesiastes is simple....don't worry about it....
the truth is...good and bad things happen to all people...God watches over the righteous...and there will be a day when we all will be judged by God...
but untill then...enjoy life for what it is...and live to show the love of God to others so that they too can be saved...
Ecclesiastes 8:15 NIV
"So I commend the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany them in their toil all the days of the life God has given them under the sun."
