Summary
Is there a problem with your wisdom or understanding? David Hope & Emma Dotter break down this question for us. We can see in the world an apparent mismatch in how the righteous can experience bad things, and people who don’t fear the Lord experience good things. David encourages us with these general principles and that we don’t fully know what God is doing, but we can trust what God is doing.
Additional Scriptures in this Podcast:
Exodus 20:12, “That you may live long in the land I am giving you.”
John 16:33, “In this world you will have trouble, but take heart! I have overcome the world.”
John 9:1-2, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
