GOD'S PROMISES - TRAGEDY

When tragedy occurs in our lives, we often get sad, frustrated, discouraged, fearful and even mad. These are all normal reactions that we may experience during times of tragedy. 

We often ask, why did this happen to me? Why couldn't I have been spared this tragedy?

There was a situation where a family's house caught on fire. They lost a lot of material possessions, but thank God no one was injured. I am sure they went through all of the normal emotions, but they still thanked God and was grateful that He spared their lives and no one was injured.

Our God is an awesome God!! He will protect us in times of tragedy and He can replace everything we lost and give us even more than we had before!

GOD'S PROMISES - REACTIONS

Things happen as you go about your day that cause you to have many different reactions. 

Someone cuts you off in traffic, you blow the horn and even though it may not be right, you may make an obscene gesture. 


You are out shopping, someone has a disagreement with the cashier and won't let it go and it is holding up the line and you make a comment to that person to hurry up and let it go so others can pay and move on with their day.


These are just a few examples of everyday situations and though your reaction is harmless, the other person's reaction can be harmful or even at times deadly.


The person you blew your horn at, tries to hit your car and run you off the road. In an extreme case, the person pulls out a gun and shoots at you and the car. 


The person in the store holding up the line turns around and hits you because of your comment. In an extreme case, the person follows you out the store and shoots you dead.


You have to remember that there are some crazy people in this world and even though your reaction to the circumstance was normal and harmless; you have no way of knowing whether or not the other persons reaction will cause you unnecessary harm or even death.



Ask God to help control your reactions to the things that are happening around you in your everyday life so that you can remain safe at all time.
