Cosmic God

Kay Arthur's celebrated book, As Silver Refined, was recently re-released and includes a 13-week study guide. The review is posted at the link above.

One of the scriptures she gives as an explanation of why bad things happen is Isaiah 45: 6--7 which states,

"That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things."

Why do you think people always expect only good things from God and not correction or testing?
