WHY GOD? WHY?

My son was an outstanding Christian.

He helped build the church he attended.

He taught one of the Sunday school classes.

He had helped many of the the people in 

his community.  In fact, they were considering

naming the street he lived on after him.

But, in the prime of life he was killed in

an auto accident.

Linda was a personal friend.  She had not

always lived for God.  But when she did 

turn to the living God she went all out in 

living for him.

But when Linda was around forty years old,

cancer got her, despite all the praying we 

did.

WHY GOD?  WHY?

I do not pretend to know the answer,

but perhaps there is a clue in

ISAIAH 57:1,2

"The righteous man perishes, and no man
takes it to heart;
And devout men are taken away, while 
no one understands.
For the righteous man is taken away from 
evil, He enters into peace;"

God knows the future just as well as the
present.  Is it possible that God in his
mercy some times takes a way a righteous
person because he sees that in some way
the Devil might destroy that person later
in life?
