God promises to work out every event for the good of those who obey Him. Those who live outside God’s will reject the best possible life, which only He can offer. The people described in Psalm 107 who rebelled against God’s Word ended up in darkness and death, in the dungeon of defeat and despair. But they cried out to God, and He delivered them. It’s never too late for God’s mercy. You can cry out to Him just as these people did. Those who have rejected Christ because they loved sin, will experience death, but not die. Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.” Everyone is given a choice in this life. When we refuse to listen to the Lord and are determined to go our own way, we can expect confusion. We’ll start to question our decision and wonder if we made a wrong choice that affects our lives such as conflict, the cost, loss, regret, and discipline. Peter says in Peter 3:17 that “it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.” We won’t always know if it is God’s will for us to suffer, but should we suffer, we’re called to do so for the right reasons. Suffering for doing evil is clearly not God’s will.
