Wondering why

[netinter]

Now, just became 60 years old, i think a lot about my life, and the past.
one thing , after all these years, i still wondering about.

why do some people, familys, have so much more pain and difficulties then other.
i know people, they are no christians, have a lot of money, and i mean a lot, good jobs they dont even need, good health, children with no problems.

Is it true that we, when we are in need, are more interested in the Lord. Just see so much more people in need here, then people who give testomonies

The Bible does say:
8Keep deception and lies far from me,
Give me neither poverty nor riches;
Feed me with the food that is my portion,

9That I not be full and deny You and say, “Who is the LORD?”
Or that I not be in want and steal,
And profane the name of my God.

I know there are many wealthy Christians, but it does seem to be true that some people do become successful and forget The Lord. I have prayed to be always faithful no matter my financial situation. I don't want the lack of wealth to be the only thing keeping me following God.

God's rain falls on the just and on the unjust. Some is just random. Some they got for themselves with bad choices. I've given this a lot of thought, and overall, Christians are happier, healthier, etc.

People who walk with the Lord and resist temptation have great peace of mind. People who don't, no matter how well things SEEM to be going with them, do not have peace. Their sin torments them constantly.

Many are thepangs of the wicked;
but steadfast love surrounds him who trusts in the LORD. Psalms 32:10 RSV

What God gives is wrapped up in the word shalom. According to Strong's Concordance 7965 Shalom means completeness, wholeness, health, peace, welfare, safety soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony, the absence of agitation or discord. Shalom comes from the root verb shalom meaning to be complete, perfect and full. In modern Hebrew the obviously related word Shelem means to pay for, and Shulam means to be fully paid.

God does not act in the life of people who are not part of His family, but God does with both blessings and discipline in those He loves. Also, we have to live in the same world as that created by people without God, even though many of the world's happenings are created through their rebelliousness.
