When God put the earth and all that is in it together, He designed a perfect world for man, woman and children to live together in perfect harmony and to live forever. Mankind rebelled against God and chose to live under other parameters with a perverted protocol. It wasn't long until the perfection of God's creation was turned into the imperfection of man's devices. Thus, the fall of man.
Before the fall of man, satan would have to find a way to intervene in the lives of man because his ways were incongruent with mans ways. He would have to lie to get mankind to believe and act apart from God's perfect creation or have no influence at all. Man succomed. Now, because mankind was living outside of the protective covering of God's perfect place for man (the garden) satan could have influence on willing recipients. satan's ploys and man's willingness to live outside of the God breathed parameters, puts everyone in the way of possible peril.
Even while living in obedience to God's ways, with answered prayer and God's supernatural intervention, there are going to be travesties while living in this age. There are provisions for those who go before us and you must know that God did not bring any harm or disease, tragedy or pain, accident or death to your child. "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:17
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Philippians 1:21
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Psalm 116:15
But Jesus said, And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 21:4
Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 19:14
