Nothing can harm you, including death. No circumstance of life can take you away from God. When I worry about something I think it through to the worst possible conclusion, which usually means death. Then I believe death is just the last dark gateway to bring me to God himself. I am trusting Jesus to have dealt with the matter of my sin and now I am accepted in the beloved. God accepts me because Jesus died for me. If you can say that too, then meeting God is the greatest pleasure possible. All my talk of electricity cuts will not alarm you because the worst outcome of that is dying of the cold and there we are at that gateway to God Almighty. How wonderful to experience life fully in tune with God.
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...
