Death is a funny thing. Even though it is inevitable, we still never expect it. Even when someone is sick, we aren't prepared to lose them. Death comes in different ways like an illness, suicide, murder or just simply naturally. No matter the circumstances, it is always hard to handle the death of someone we care about even someone we know through passing.
Psalm 23 is notorious for being read at funerals. Verse 4 tells us: Even when I walk through the valley of death, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. We always seem to be afraid of death and the unknown aspects 
of death. We want to know what happens to someone when they die, though that is another thing that remains a mystery to us. But we need to remember is that God is there protecting and comforting not only us but the ones we have lost.
Even if we meet a person for only a moment in time, you never know the impact you may have had. Everything is life including death is a part of God's plan. God is there protecting us and comforting us throughout life, he continues to do so through death whether it be our own or the death of a loved one. He is our protector and comforter, He'll be there when we need him the most.
The book of Habukkuk talks a lot about trusting God. It's Habukkuk praying to God and then God's responses to him. It's not a very long book, but it is a very meaningful book, and we Christians can learn a lot from Habukkuk and how he response and talks to God. He doesn't talk as if it were a formal conversation, but as if he was chatting with a friend. That's how we should pray to God, but this post isn't about prayer. It's about trust. We have looked at Habukkuk 2:3, now lets look at the next verse: Look at the proud! They trust in themselves and their live are crooked: but the righteous will live by their faith. When we try to trust in ourselves and our own devises we fall short of course. Our lives become crooked and soon fall. 
But the righteous who trust in God will find the strength to endure. Christians must trust God for all things, not just the bad things in life. We need to trust that God;s plan will happen and he will take care of us and provide as he said he would. Farther in the chapter God says to Habukkuk: How foolish to trust in something made my your own hands! (verse 18). Why should we trust in ourselves, new age books. We try to trust things that lead us no where and only cause us to fall. The only thing we need to trust is God himself! We need to depend on God for all things in life.
of death. We want to know what happens to someone when they die, though that is another thing that remains a mystery to us. But we need to remember is that God is there protecting and comforting not only us but the ones we have lost.
