Some things happen in our lives, or the lives of those we know and love, which defy all understanding, research, and wisdom. How are we to make sense of it? Sometimes it is direct intervention by the Lord that interrupts our normal approach to life. While He never does anything that is wrong or sinful, He may do things that are very unusual. He has authority over every element of our lives. When we have Christ as our Savior, even the direst of circumstances may be a blessing (Bible Expositor and Illuminator Union Gospel Press, Summer Quarter 2022).
