Do you have God's peace in your heart? If so you will know it is the peace that passes all understanding. It's a peace that is with you even when you are in turmoil. By all accounts you should be feeling nothing but worry and distress. It doesn't seem reasonable to have peace in a time like that, but if you have your faith firmly placed in God you will have his peace. You may lose your job, but his peace is still with you and he will carry you through. He knows what you have to face, but you do not face it alone. He is the one who said,"I will never leave you or forsake you." Put your trust in him for he is the only one you can trust.
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...
