Even those of us who are committed Christians can find ourselves attracted to wanting more wealth. I am an O.A.P in Britain and live on benefits, however I am still in the top 6% of the world for being rich. I have everything I need. I am rich beyond the dreams of the richest man in the world, because I have Jesus. With Him beside me and around me I need nothing else. He provides what I need when I need it. He is the fairest of ten thousand to my soul. So stop chasing the lottery and riches and seek after Jesus.
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...
