If we stop struggling with this world's problems and turn to Jesus we will find he gives us rest. He promises an easy yoke. For those of you who don't know, a yoke is a wooden contraption which goes across the shoulders of two oxen, so that they can pull together and get the ploughing done. Jesus says he will join us to him with a yoke, one that is light and fits our shoulders and he will walk with us through life, getting the work done together. Why walk alone through life when you can have Jesus with you each step of the way?
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
