Before ever we were made, God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit planned our salvation. This was going to be the most difficult thing that God would do, bringing us back from a state of sin to be right with him again. Many people don't believe God created everything. They can't conceive of a being so wonderful that he can make our earth and us in 6 days. However creation was easy for God, but bringing us back from sin is difficult. He had to give his beloved son as a redeeming sacrifice for us. This was not easy. Jesus was always in perfect love and harmony with his father. To be separated from him in any way must have been oh so terrible and yet he did it for his children. Are you one of God's children?
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...
