"Righteous Cause" -2

"Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of His servant." (Psalms 35:27) There are so many different levels of good when it comes to prosperity, and what some might consider as good for them, others might look upon it as something that is bad or unhealthy; but when it comes to being good in the eyes of God, what God decides is good for us, might to some appear to be a living hell. Thereby comes the question, Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people? A question asked by many, but never really given the answer that satisfies the naysayers or those looking for an excuse to deny God loves us so. It might be hard to see how someone suffering through something can be any type of prosperity, but then again, so it was for those that observed Jesus hanging upon the cross. There was none more good than Jesus, who healed the sick, gave sight to the blind, made the lame to walk; on and on you can go with good things that Jesus did, yet the Bible says, "Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him" (Isaiah 53:10); in other words, God saw it was good, the same kind of 'good' that God said in the beginning of creation, because it was His wonderful work, just as everything that He created that had life, continued to reproduce of itself, so to did that which was performed on the cross by Jesus Christ. For thousands of years, millions of souls have been given new life by looking back at that cross; a cross that looked so pitiful and so bad at the time which it happened, but that gives so much life continually and repeatedly, over and over again. Basically what I am trying to say, is that while Jesus Christ hung upon that cross, the Father looked upon His Son and said, "It was good", which is closely aliened with "prosperity"; that which would be a benefit for all of mankind...
"Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people. Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee, because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee." (Isaiah 55:4 & 5)
