Episode Synopsis

While it is true that some suffering in our lives may sometimes be God's judgment, it is also true that things may happen to us simply as unintended realities of living in a sin-cursed world. Often, we don't know the real reasons why God allows things to happen. But we don't need to know. And if we tried to identify one simple reason for what happens to us, that would be thinking too small of our God. We can't control every outcome of every situation. Yet we should try to maintain a balance of having wisdom to know and follow common-sense safety measures, and having the skill to apply them to the situations we are in. Life is uncertain; but one day, we will die... So how are we living today? Are we resting in Jesus today? Accidents may happen to us today, but where will we be when we close our eyes for the last time? The wisest thing we can do in the midst of the uncertainties of life is to trust in Jesus for salvation from our sins.
