He Laughs. Psalm 2:3-6 NKJV

How can God be in control when bad things happen? If God loves us so much and wants us to be safe and happy, why does He let tragedy into our lives?  

It's not His fault. Evil exists, Satan is real. 

1 Peter 5:8 NKJV 

8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 

But do you really think, even when Satan throws a wrench into God's plan, God can't work things out for His good? He can. He does. Satan doesn't get the last word. Satan doesn't get the last laugh. 

For all his effort, for all his work, Satan still looses. That's why God sits in the heavens and laughs. He knows it's all in vain. 

Psalm 2:4-6 NKJV 

4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; 

The Lord shall hold them in derision. 

5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, 

And distress them in His deep displeasure: 

6 “Yet I have set My King 

On My holy hill of Zion.”
