God’s Goodness
I don't know why, but when bad things happen, we say things like "God is setting you up for a comeback" or "God has something better for you." These sound really good, especially when you've been basically wiped out, but they don't have much spiritual value whatsoever.
God doesn't use natural catastrophes to show you His goodness, and He certainly doesn't use bad to bring about good! I grew up in a church that sort of taught this. I say that because it wasn't officially taught, but it wasn't frowned on for speaking it.
We have been given the word of God, the name of Jesus, Holy Spirit, faith, hope, ministering spirits(angels), and the testimonies of those who have gone before us. These are the things that are working for our good.
