57. What Next?
“…the message of the book of Job or the story of Lazarus’ resurrection: tragedy happens,
and it deserves to be mourned over
(Jesus weeping at His friend’s tomb models this).

58. What Next?
The beauty of the gospel is not that tragedies aren’t tragic, it’s that—to paraphrase the poet John Donne—one day death will die. The hope is that even the most terrible tragedies can be weaved into God’s beautiful story of redemption.

59. Satan seems to have a hand in them.
What Next?
“We don’t necessarily know why God allows natural disasters to occur; sometimes
Satan seems to have a hand in them.
But the time to prepare for life’s crises is now, not when they strike.

60. What Next? “Is your faith, hope and trust in Christ, and
are you seeking to live for Him every day,
no matter what happens?”

62. Psalm 62
5 My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him. 6 He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved.
