If God Is Good, Why Is There Suffering?

“Why?” is a question we often ask about suffering. This question is so important because it directs people in one of two directions: toward God or away from God.
We ask this question for ourselves, and for others. Often our “why” is not just the inquisitive “why” of a child, but it is the angry, confident “WHY?” that is more an argument than a question. We act as if we know there is no good reason for what is occurring.
Have you come to a satisfactory solution to the question of why there is suffering? Is there an answer?
Suffering is an inescapable part of our world. It draws our attention completely inward. How do we deal with it? We want to make sense of it. We live in a cursed time. God made the world, but He allowed rebellion (sin), which affected creation and our lives. All of us rebelled against Him (Gen. 3; Rom. 3). Therefore, the world is marked by suffering.
And from the book of Job, we see three truths that will help answer even more.
1. The Plain Truth About God and Job
God is all-powerful; Job and his friends both agree on this (Job 26, 34, 36, 37:14, 23).

Why is there suffering, if you were God and looked at how your people behaved, People hate him, hate his Son, love Satan and everything immoral, people in general have rejected the Word of God for ages, so why should he make it easy for us
Just look at the hatred in BIN when they talk about Jews and Israel, no wonder things are bad down here, and it will get a lot worse esp for the unsaved
It is also scriptural, it will rain on the saved as well as the unsaved, we will face lifes ups and downs like anyone else, at least we have a blessed hope
