Is God punishing those caught in the path of a storm? We need to see what Jesus would say. He spoke of people who had died when a tower fell on them. He asked this question,"Were those people worse sinners than the rest of you?" The answer was that they were not worse, but that all of us deserve the same fate, because we are sinners. We need the forgiveness that can only be found in Jesus. We should never point the finger at people who have been overcome by disaster, we all deserve the same. However disaster gives us the chance to help one another and learn about the fragility of life.
Every time I take a few days off from my blog my ratings slump. Very rarely do people go back into my old posts and read again. This is a typical attitude of the human heart, always wanting something different. At this time of year we should not be greedily wondering want new thing we will be getting for Christmas. Instead we should be looking at the old, old story, which is ever new of a baby who amazingly was God incarnate, God's gift to those who will put there trust in this one who was to grow up to give His life for His people. Set aside the controversy over whether December 25th is the actual date of His birth.(Shepherds do not keep their sheep out at night in Israel in December.) and set aside time to think about the fact that He did come and ponder if He came to set you free and if your answer is ,"Yes," He will make you free indeed.
