It is so easy to run away.
When things get tough or disaster strikes one common reaction is to run away and “crawl into a cave.”
This reaction often cuts us off from the support and encouragement that would strengthen us to handle the situation!
I have noticed this in terms of church attendance.
Some people withdraw at a time when they most need to draw strength and encouragement from God and His people.
But the reverse reaction is the one that will produce the best result.
When life gets tough, it is smarter to run to God and His people not away from them!

I saw an amazing example of this last Sunday.

This week the adult brother and sisters of the same family tragically lost their father to cancer. Despite this, they and their children were all in church on Sunday night. In their sorrow they ran to God and their spiritual family. I admire that so much. It is the action of people of faith but also the action of people who know how life works best. Want to comment?
