112. SAFETY/ACCIDENTS    --page 878--

         As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come (Pro.26:2).

         1. Nothing happens to God's children but by His will and with His permission!
         2. Accidents don't just happen!--They are caused!--By our own neglect and carelessness, or that of others! The best way to prevent them is to make it impossible for them to occur!
         3. A fence at the top of the cliff is better than a hospital at the bottom!
         4. Sorry doesn't fix it!
         5. Make it impossible for accidents to happen, by being so careful and so safe and so secure they're impossible.
         6. For a Christian, the curse causeless just doesn't come!
         7. God always checks us about things before He lets them happen or before an accident occurs!
         8. Accidents are usually caused through carelessness, lack of watchfulness, lack of caution or lack of safety.
         9. The way to avoid accidents is to avoid the conditions that cause them.
         10. The way to avoid accidents is to make it impossible for them to happen.
         11. One of the main preventatives of accidents is: Don't take chances!
         12. Lots of things can happen that are totally beyond your control, but not the Lord's.
         13. Prevent trouble before it happens.
         14. Nothing happens by accident! God has a purpose in everything.
         15. Safety is God's guarantee--but we must cooperate, you see.
         16. The best way to avoid or prevent accidents is to pray without ceasing.
