Message summary & scripture references
Is God punishing me? Have I done something to make God mad? Have I been disobedient to His Word? These are just a few questions we ask ourselves when bad things happen to us. However, these are actually the wrong questions to ask. In today’s Daily word, we examine why bad things happen to us, and how we can avoid and overcome them.

[4] He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
