Disasters, accidents, and such follow from being finite beings who are not yet capable of fully receiving the Lord’s guidance. In the natural world we live in a state of uncertainty with incomplete knowledge and have limited abilities to detect and deflect threats. From God’s perspective, it is not important how long we live or the number of trials we must endure. Instead, He considers how we endured our trials and how well we used the time available to us.
