One of Satan's most effective lies is when he prompts us to question God’s goodness in the face of current circumstance, saying “it isn’t fair!” “We have been good; good things ought to happen to us.”
There are things in this world that are not fair. My illness is not one of them – Jesus said storms come, Matt. 7:25. It bothers me when someone says, “It is not fair that you have this disease”. I have a picture on my computer that I keep to remind me of what is not fair. It is of a starving Sudanese child, crawling in the dust toward a feeding center. . A vulture is a few feet away, watching her, waiting.
I live in a comfortable home -- she crawls in the dust. I have hospitals, doctors, and medicine to make me more comfortable – she lacks even the essentials of life. I have many friends that help me -- she lacks one person to pick her up and take her a few hundred yards to the feeding station.

God’s will for us: “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” I Thess. 5:16-18
