When These Things Begin to Come to Pass
“Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto Thy name.” - 2 Samuel 22:50
If we get into an auto accident and come out alive, we typically thank God for sparing our lives. But do you ever just thank God for saving your life as you drove home from work and didn’t have an accident? Isn’t that even better?
I heard a story that poignantly illustrates this. One Sunday a husband and wife heard that a person in their church whose son died on the battlefield gave a significant love offering in his memory. On the way home, the wife asked her husband, “Why don’t we give an offering for our son?”
“Why?” he answered. “Our son wasn’t killed.”
She said, “Don’t you think that’s a good reason?”
What should you do in all things? Whether you are safe or sorry?
