Although the Arameans attacked with only a small army, the LORD helped them conquer the much larger army of Judah. The people of Judah had abandoned the LORD, the God of their ancestors, so judgment was carried out against Joash. [2 Chronicles 24.24]
Bad things happen because of sin. Period. If it weren't for sin, bad things would not exist.
There is only one reason for bad things and that is sin.
There is only one response to sin and that is repentance.
So, the only proper response when bad things happen is repentance!
Father, there are so many bad things all around me (not to mention the bad things directly upon my life). Forgive me. And, forgive me for pride and arrogance - and even outright denial of the obvious when bad things come. I want You to find me humble - I want You to find me repentant.
