>>8815332Consider the following:
1.) The wicked only appear to prosper from your limited vantage point.
2.) God is sovereign over everything that happens, but is not directly causing evil. You have to remember that God is a force that exists both outside and inside time and space. Reality as we perceive it was created with the foreknowledge that the ultimate outcome would be good, whether a particular moment is 'good' or 'bad' are consequences and its important to not to focus on one particular speck of time. Think about the story of Solon and Croesus.
3.) Free will and determinism are not only compatible, but complementary. The revelation that no man would willingly do the wrong thing if he had knowledge of the right thing should have profound implications for how we should behave.
4.) You should not put so much stock in things that can be so easily taken away.
