Does God send warnings before we walk into danger or calamity?

I heard a Christian evangelist escaped an attempted murder during his first attempt to befriend uncharted natives on a forbidden island.

He knew the risk and died on his second attempt.

The American paramedic killed by ice this year during his politician protest, had his rib cage broken by ice less than 30 days before his death in an earlier protest.

He knew the risk of protesting, but protested anyway, and died during that protest, less than a month after his injury from a previous protest.

My dad was warned by my uncle not to marry my husband hitting, child abusing mom during his engagement to her, but my dad chose her any way, because my mother was extremely attractive in her younger years.

For the last 40 years, she has abused us on 100% of the days we have been near her.

This post hits hard because it shows the same pattern in three very different lives: people who saw the danger clearly, got warned (or already got hurt), but went ahead anyway.
Chau knew the islanders would probably kill him—first attempt proved it—but he went back and paid the price. The paramedic had a fresh broken rib from the last protest, yet showed up again and got killed. Your dad was straight-up told your mom was abusive, but married her anyway for how she looked, and now it’s 40 years of daily hell for the whole family.
It’s not about being brave or stupid—it’s about what we decide is worth more than safety or other people’s pain. Faith, justice, attraction… the reason changes, but the choice is the same: “I know, but I’m doing it.”
The part that stings most is how the damage almost never stays with just the person who decided. Thanks for sharing something this raw. Makes you stop and think about your own “I know, but…” moments.
