This is a question that is asked often by many, and the answer is found in the word of God. Now before we continue let me be clear the bible does not say that everything that happens bad is because God did it or is causing it. in fact, the Bible shows us the mankind has free will to choose (Deuteronomy 30:19) God is such a just God, He gives us the right to choose so back to the topic
Ecclesiastes 9:2 All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.
Ecclesiastes 9:3 This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead
These verses revels to us that there is an evil that is amongst us on the earth, as a result of war that broke out in Heven (Rev 12: 7) and Adam & Eve this earth was turned over to satin. so, when the word of God tells us to choose life it is giving us Godly counsel, it is therefore always best when we choose to do things the way God tells us in his word, so we can minimize the impact the enemy and his angles have in our lives SELA!
