Facing the UNEXPECTED
Due to the recent economic downturn, many people’s lives have taken an unexpected turn. Investors watched in disbelief as shares on the stock market plummeted. Businesses were put into receivership. Many people lost their life’s savings and pensions overnight. People who had taken out mortgages suddenly found themselves unable to make the repayments.
Welfare benefits have been slashed, leaving many of the most vulnerable members of society facing poverty. Unemployment has reached an all-time peak, resulting in mass emigration. Today many people, whose homes have not already been repossessed by the banks or building societies, live in constant fear of eviction. No one was prepared for these eventualities.
As you face life’s unexpected challenges, it is good to know that the Lord understands what you are going through and that He cares. He understands our sorrow. He said, ‘I have surely seen the affliction of my people…and have heard their cry…I know their sorrows; and I am come down to deliver them’.
