Biblical Perspective on Calamity and Trouble:
- Troubles are part of life in this world.
- It’s ok to call trouble “bad.”
- Obedience helps minimize trouble, but will not eliminate it.
- Disobedience will compound problems.
- God uses trouble for our good.
Game plan for facing Trouble:
- Before the trouble starts…
- Walk in wisdom.
- Pray for protection.
- Help others.
- During the trouble…
- Focus your mind.
- Confess the truth.
- Pray.
- Control you thoughts.
- Take action.
- Endure.
- After the trouble…
- Praise and thank God.
Key Guideline: Go to God in crisis!
