All right, Player.
You have leveled up and gained much experience through the many years of your Game of Life. You have followed the Game Master who created you and have done good things in His name. A few obstacles came across your path as you traversed the Game World, but nothing you couldn’t handle. Suddenly, an unexpectedly hard battle arises and…you lose. You can hear the Serpent, the ultimate boss, laughing at your failure. Broken and defeated, you ask, “Why do bad things happen to good people?”
This incredibly common question is one nobody fully answers; thus, blame lands on God. If He is always with us, why did He not help? The truth is, He is not at fault. He created us, the players, of this game we call life with free will and has no control over which team – the Game Master or the Serpent - we choose to side with. He is playing the game with a huge disadvantage, but He will never surrender His players without a fight.
Using the analogy of a video game, author Harry E. Hubbard dives deep into the spiritual war between God and Satan and how the collateral damage from their epic struggle represents the bad things that occur in life. We as the players will learn in Why Bad Things Happen In Your Game of Life: Since You’re in the Game, Play to Win! the rules we must follow, the objectives we wish to strive for, how to overcome and recover from unexpected problems and losses, and more, all leading up to the ending we wish to ultimately reach.
So then, Player. Will you seek out the Game Master and follow Him to the bonus round of eternity? Or will your world fade to black as you reach “game over?”
