Causality is the relationship between an event (the cause) and a second event (the effect), where the second event is a consequence of the first.Life is not always what it seems. You must know the context- the cause.
Look at the pictures and the three true statements below. Then search the next few paragraphs to find the cause and fill in the blanks.
Cause:
Effect: I held Zack
Cause:
Effect: Zack could walk even before his wounds healed.
Cause:
Effect: a black eye
Sometimes we see an effect and conjure up all kinds of scenarios, mere speculations and make judgments without any real basis in reality.
Was I holding Zack still?
No! Zack was terrified and screaming uncontrollably and I held him as close as I could to comfort him while they sawed off his casts
… We will know more tomorrow how things are going for him when he goes up for x-rays. We are hoping the pins (to hold the bones together for fusing after the amputations and bone surgery) will get to come out. But hope the removal of his casts for x-rays is not as traumatic for him as the sawing off his casts Friday... it petrified him plus the casts had become like friends for him cause they enabled him to walk and climb while the wounds were healing.
What about the black eye? Did someone hit her… well in a way, there was a car wreck and the other car hit her car. But some actually thought domestic violence lol!
We all know the term cause and effect but often we see an effect and come to conclusions that have no basis in reality. Like the one who wondered about domestic violence.
I would like to share something that the LORD highlighted to me as I read HIS word today seeing the word because several times. Since the word because is a connecting word used to link the cause with the effect, whenever you see the word because check the context closely to determine what is the cause and what is the effect.

Ezra 7:6 this Ezra came up from Babylon. He was a teacher well versed in the Law of Moses, which the LORD, the God of Israel, had given. The king had granted him everything he asked, because the hand of the LORD his God was on him.

Ezra 7:9 He had begun his journey from Babylon on the first day of the first month, and he arrived in Jerusalem on the first day of the fifth month, because the gracious hand of his God was on him. 10Because Ezra had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the LORD, and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel.

When we turn to GOD, we will find HIS good hand upon us.
