God is so mighty, holy and righteous and yet when we are his, he cares for us even in the little things of life. If I am in a hurry and have lost something, like my car keys I ask him where they are. This is not to make God my little servant, but because I trust him and know he knows all the answers. Is God real for you like that. If we can trust him in those little things it helps us to trust him for the big things in our life too. We need not worry about financial matters when we know God is in control. We need not worry about health matters because God holds us safely in his care. If our trust is in God we are safe for time and eternity. What else matters.
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...
