Where To Find Hope When Tragedy Strikes

Unfortunately, sooner or later, almost everyone is hit by some type of tragedy. This includes people who seemingly have everything.

Ecclesiastes 9:11 says: “The swift do not always win the race, nor do the mighty win the battle, nor do the wise always have the food, nor do the intelligent always have the riches, nor do those with knowledge always have success, because time and unexpected events overtake them all.”

So then, the question is not whether you will face adversity, but how you will react when you do. For instance: What if you lost all your possessions in a natural disaster?...What if you were diagnosed with a life-threatening illness?...Or what if you lost a loved one in death? . . .You must be convinced that the Bible can help you not only to cope when tragedy strikes but also to have a solid basis for hope.

“For all the things that were written beforehand were written for our instruction, so that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope.” Romans 15:4.
