Why Do Good Things
Happen to Bad People?
Ecclesiastes 7:15 (CEV):
“I have seen everything during this senseless life of mine.
I have seen good citizens die for doing the right thing,
and I have seen criminals live to a ripe old age.”
The devil gets his kicks out of making the righteous jealous of the wicked. Plus, how else could he string along bad people, if he didn’t make good things happen to them?
In the end though, when justice is meted out, the wicked will suffer for their wrongs. As indeed will the devil.
What Satan doesn’t realize, is that he could confound the entire universe a lot more by repenting and being nice.
That would blow everything out of the water!
God would have to forgive the devil!
Once the devil finds forgiveness, how then could everyone else not?
But instead, the devil figures he’s confined to eternal torment in Hell anyway, so he lures as many others as he can to join him.
Of course, Satan can never repent, because the pride that got him to rebel against God in the first place, is the same pride that prevents from admitting he’s wrong.
The poor devil.
