 When adversity strikes.

BIBLE PRINCIPLE: "You do not know what your life will be like tomorrow." - JAMES 4:14.

Life is unpredictable. A person who is rich today might be poor tomorrow.  A person who is healthy today might be sick tomorrow.  "The swift do not always win the race, nor do hte might win the battle," says the Bible, "because time and unexpected events overtake them all." - ECCLESIASTES 9:11. 

As a parent, you rightly take reasonable steps to protect your child fromd danger.  Realistically, though, it is not possible to shield your child from all of life's adversities.

Of course, your child may not be old enought to experience the loss of a job or a financiall reversal.  Still, you can help him cope with other adversities-for example, the loss of a friendship, or the death of a family member.
