When Bad Stuff Happens to Us

How do you view the bad things that happen to you? Do you feel that God has forgotten you? That He doesn’t love you anymore? Or worse, that He’s out to get you? If we truly believe that God is the source of everything that happens in our lives and that God is good, that means everything that happens to us must also be good. Right? But we sometimes don’t look at it that way. In today’s episode, host Yael Eckstein turns to Jewish lessons from the Bible to teach us how to think about the bad stuff that happens to us with a different perspective. As Yael shares, sometimes God puts obstacles in our path to teach us or protect us in a way that we could have never predicted. We cannot know God’s ways, but Scripture shows us that if we praise Him for everything that happens to us – good or bad – we’ll learn that it’s actually all for the good!
