The last five years have provided a lot of tragic events. From a man-made virus to violent and disastrous floods, earthquakes, and other unpredictable events. Who is the one who is first blamed, God. Hate to bust the bubble of those people, but God is NOT the one to blame.
While thousands have died during the last five years, you have to look not at the negativity of the events but what these events taught us. Pointing the finger at God is a waste of energy. We all know God created us, and he has the right and capability to destroy us at any time. But what have we learned? God did not create these events, but in some instances, He may have allowed things to occur to open our eyes to things we need to face.
If a person has a heart attack but survives, it’s not just a coincidence. It is because God loves us so much that he doesn’t want us to suffer but needs us to learn how to be faithful and take care of our bodies. In some instances, a person is allowed to pass because they have already suffered so much.
God does not do anything without reason. Some years ago, a small child fell into a public swimming pool. The lifeguard saw her go in and went in after her. Despite her valent attempts to save the child, she never took another breath. When the death was reported, there was an investigation, and it turned out that sweet child had been abused by a family member. Sometimes, in situations like that, God does intervene because he knew that child had suffered enough! When bad things happen, look at what leads up to that event.
At other times miracles happen even at the worst of times. Just look at the events that occurred after the massive loss of life in Western North Carolina. When the government failed to provide comfort and relief, people came from states away to help. There were miracles that occurred almost daily.
Even in the most horrific of situations, God tends to let us know He is there.
What can you do? Be grateful daily and give of yourself to others. Love begins with you.
