Have A Reality Check

I have always wondered how I will react when faced with a life threatening situation. Shock; bewilderment; unbelief or the feeling that the world just crumbled under my feet?

In the span of 2 weeks, I have come to know of 1 death and 2 confirmations from close friends/relatives of cancer related illness.  It is not a death sentence, that I know. However, I am sure that when we are confronted with such a situation, a lot of things would be going through our minds. Will I survive? How long ? What next ?

Whatever the questions that will come, one fundamental point will surface - it will entail a shift in focus - a life changing one. I am sure your priorities will be changed. Things that seemed important just awhile ago no longer holds you.

I have to say this : I will not know how I will react but I have learned from my personal journey that it will bore down to one thing : faith !

Our faith in God will determine how we face the impossible situations of life. We must learn to stand in the shadow of our Savior, trusting Him to work through the trials we encounter, through the extreme circumstances we cannot handle.  He is still the God of impossible situations. He still does what no earthly individual can do. Trust Him to do that!
