This program is made possible by the partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

Our goal is to have all the answers and no problems, but you're not going to get it.

I'm Joyce Meyer, and I believe that God can heal you everywhere you hurt.

Well, thank you so much for joining me today on enjoying everyday life.

I love teaching the Word, and I'm glad that you love hearing the Word.

I've been talking the last couple of days about trusting God,

and now we come down to our final teaching on this subject, at least for now. And one of the biggest questions that people ask, and it's simply this,

if God is good, then why do people suffer?

And especially if God is good, then why do good people suffer?

Seems like sometimes wicked people prosper while good people have trials and tribulations. But the Bible tells us in

Psalm 37, don't fret yourself over the evildoers, for they shall soon be cut down like the grass.

And you know, I've come to understand something just in the last couple of years that I don't

think I really ever understood before, and that is, is that prosperity things, money, you know,

certainly can be blessings from God,

but that doesn't necessarily mean that everything that person's doing is right.

Actually, the devil can bless people.

If you look back to when Jesus was being tempted in the garden,

I mean not the garden, but when he was taken out into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil

40 days and 40 nights, one of the temptations was that the devil took him up on a high mountain

and showed him all the things that the world had to offer.

And he said, if you'll bow down and worship me just once,

I'll give all this to you.
