God is taking care of you
Did you know that God is taking very good care of you right now? It’s true. This loving Father Mother God is keeping you safe, providing comfort, loving you, caring for you and giving you everything you need, right now. That is what God does, constantly. This God tells us from Isaiah in the Bible, “This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.”
We show forth His praise because of all that this God or divine Love does for us. The Bible also tells us that “This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
No matter what appears to be going on to the physical senses, all good is going on for us and everyone which we see through our spiritual sense. This spiritual sense that we all have, allows us to see things the way God sees them, the way God made them, spiritual and good and even perfect.
God is with us in the floods and the earthquakes and the wars and the cyclones. When there wasn’t enough for everyone to eat or someone appeared to be dead, what did Jesus do? Of all things, he gave thanks, right there where lack or death appeared to be to the material senses. He gave thanks because through his spiritual sense he knew and saw that God was pouring forth abundant good, giving everyone everything they need and more. He saw that since God is Life and God is All there is no death.
We too can give thanks today, right now for all the good that is coming to us from our God.
What if we cannot seem to see what is going on with our spiritual sense? What do we do when our physical senses seem so strong that they outweigh what we may be able to see with our spiritual sense?

None can doubt the veracity of this atrcile.
The Bible tells us to “be still and know that I am God.” (Psalms 46:10). I have found this stillness to be very important in hearing God, hearing through our spiritual senses.
What are we stilling? We are stilling the noise and static of the material senses.
How do we find this stillness? Take a moment and acknowledge God’s allness, His or Her presence and power. Open up to FEEL the love of God all around you and in you.
After that Psalm mentioned above says “be still” it goes on to say,
“I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.”
The material senses are telling us that God or good is not with us but we can with authority, be still and know that God is with us and then we will feel God’s all embracing loving care for us.
So, I totally agree that God is taking care of us because I have had far too many instances in my life when I have felt His presence. But, what are we to think when something tragic happens, like a person being killed by violence, accident, natural disaster? I realize that all of these things are unreal to the spiritual senses, but here in this world they appear to happen, and aren’t we trying to daily protect ourselves, our thoughts from this stuff? I am just not sure how to reconcile these seeming tragedies. How do we explain them and how do we find God in them? Tragedies make me feel like there is such a thing as chance.

Plenty of tragic things happened in the Bible, which is where I think we can draw some inspiration to answer this question.
How did Jesus respond to the tragedy at Calvary — his own crucifixion? He rose above it, thus proving that what seemed to have power and life didn’t have it. Power and life is on the side of good and can’t be destroyed.
What happened when Paul was stoned to death? His disciples gathered around and prayed and he rose up and kept right on traveling to the next town, proving that life cannot be destroyed, that death didn’t have the last say.
What happened to the man that was born blind — when the disciples asked Jesus basically why or how it happened? Jesus said it wasn’t the truth about him and proved it by healing him so he could see.
What is proved in the Bible is that the evidence of material sense is not real or substantial and the events and experiences of this material world can be overcome by the spiritual laws that are truly governing the universe.
We prove this in our own lives step by step, one experience at a time and then we begin to see the reality above and beyond the material view.
God or good is never in the bad anymore than light is in darkness. Darkness is the absence of light not a power of its own. Evil is the SUPPOSED absence of God or good and has no real power except the power we seem to give it temporarily by believing in it, until the belief finally dies away because of the truth — the reality of good only.
