James
1:2-3 Count
it all joy, my brethren, when you meet various trials, for you know that the
testing of your faith produces steadfastness.
It only takes a moment and
ones life may change forever. One may be driving and suddenly another car does
not stop at a stop street and smashes into your car, how quickly this happens.
In the same way we need to be conscious that many things can happen
unexpectedly and then how do we cope with it is maybe more important than the unexpected.
Just because we believe and
trust in Jesus does not mean that bad things do not happen to good people, and
when bad things do happen do we stop believing and trusting? We need to be
assured of our belief and trust and this usually takes an incident to happen to
help us to grow in faith. However we need to be in a place where we are right
with God, and to praise God no matter what happens. For nothing will happen to
us which outside of God’s will for us and all things that happen God turns
to the good of those who love Him.
Be encouraged to be mindful
God is with us.
David
Point to ponder: When the unexpected happens God is still in
control.
Question to
consider: How do you handle the unexpected?
