Matthew 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Life isn't always fair; if you think it should be and ever will be then you have not lived long enough. Circumstances beyond our control, and sometimes even caused by our own actions happen to everyone. We cannot change that. Things happen to good people that we may never understand. But we cannot question God, he always has everything in control. Remember the Sunday school song, "He has the whole world in his hands," how true that is. When we live for God, we are blessed! You see it is true that it rains on us just like it does the unjust. What seems like 'bad' things happen to us just like it does to heathens that do not want anything to do with God. But you know what the difference is? Our rain is blessed rain! You see the thing the enemy intends to use to destroy is sometimes the very thing God uses to save us. See God always has the bigger picture in mind.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
See we get caught up in day to day life, and how our life is going. God is concerned about us as eternal beings. He wants us to be saved. God never intends to hurt us, only to make us better. You see when it rains on the unjust it destroys them, but when it rains on the righteous it just makes us drawer closer to him and stronger!
Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
Matthew 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
Matthew 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
Matthew 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
You see we can see the trails and circumstance of life from a different perspective when we are on the rock, I'm sure Noah saw the water differently while he was floating in the ark as the world drowned. God is always going make provision for his people. What other folks that don't have a walk with God would see as the end of the world, we can see as a blessing in disguise. What situations in life that would be a 'flood' of catastrophic proportions to people living for the temporal, is nothing more than just water for the rose that is blooming in our lives when we stay in the will of God. You see the trails we face when living for God are only blessings in disguise.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Yes it rains on the just, but it's BLESSED rain. Working for us!
1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
Weeping only last for the night, joy always comes in the morning! Dance in the rain, it is blessed!

Acts 2:38, obey it!
