A Thought on Tragedy

When tragedy happens, we find ourselves asking why. It doesn't seem to make sense and we find ourselves questioning why such things would happen.

The question is valid; none of this makes sense because we are living in a broken world when we were meant to live in a place God made perfect. We weren't built to deal with tragedy, we were built for the glory of God.

But God takes senseless evil and turns it around for the good of those who love him, because the day will come when He returns and flips the world on its head. Sadness and pain will become blissful justice accompanied with our shouts of joy.

Genesis 3 brokenness will become Genesis 1 goodness... more so than we can even imagine.

I eagerly look for that Day along with all those who call upon the Name.
