“Dress for action like a man; I will question you, and you make it known to me. Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be in the right? Have you an arm like God, and can you thunder with a voice like his?” Job 40:7-9
How often does God look like the "bad" one in our portrayal of our life and our circumstances? How often am I willing to throw God under the bus to obtain man's sympathy or understanding?
It is never right to portray God as One who randomly chooses people to beat on for "some reason." There are times of great stress in people's lives that God or our foolishness can cause. Yet, to accuse God of being random is always wrong.
The adverse circumstances in your life (or those that you consider adverse) are either because of silly choices or because God is making your life significant. You need to make better choices if they are due to your choices. If they are due to God's plan, you must rest in who He is.
It is the wise person who knows the difference.
