I will give you many illustrations of the righteousness of my maker. "God is almighty and yet does not despise anyone! And he is perfect in his understanding. He does not reward the wicked with his blessings, but gives them there full share of punishment. He does not ignore the good men but honors them by placing them upon eternal, kingly thrones."
If troubles come upon them, and they are afflicted, then he takes the trouble to point out to them the reason, what they have done that is wrong, or how they have behave proudly. He helps them hear his instruction to turn away from their sin.
If they listen and obey him then they will be blessed with prosperity throughout their lives. If they won't listen to him, they shall perish in battle and die because of their lack of good sense.
But the godless reap his anger. They die young after lives of dissipation and depravity. "How he wanted to lure you away from danger into a wide and pleasant valley and to prosper you there.
God is so great that we cannot begin to know him. No one can begin to understand eternity.
Bible: Book of Job cp 36 vs 3 through 26

How great is out God, how great are his works, his love, his understanding. Think of it! Everything that was is created and is been created by God relies on his goodness and mercy.
We cannot even draw our own breath of fresh air if he does not allow it. Where does air, oxygen come from? He provides us with plenty food to eat. Why does a seed dies and is reborn again into a new plant that grows for the benefit to feed our bodies and make them strong?
He knows everything you say and do. We speak evil or good and those words do not vanish in mid air but are recorded and kept until our judgement comes. Why does our body age? How come we can go to the moon and we cannot stop the process or aging and death. If we are smarter and more independent from God why can we not stop death, aging, sickness, wars?
Why do we have all these kinds of emotions that we cannot control. OH, we can hide them but they are still there. When we die our emotions will be there also, they won't die with our bodies.
It is our arrogance, our know it all that get us far from God goodness. He wants to help us and bless us but we still stubborn and refuse all his goodness because we think we can do it all.
