It is so easy to lose heart these days when so many terrible things are happening in the world. But if we are trusting Jesus he will never fail us. We know that all power is given to him. He died for us and now he reigns for us. He is preparing a place where we can be with him forever. But also he has not turned his back on us. He knows our situation and he understands when we are in low spirits. He tells us to come to him and he will give us rest. We may feel under-valued in this world but we are of such worth to him that he died for us. He spoke of how God even cares about the birds and we are of far more value to God than that. When times get tough we must look up to Jesus for our salvation is drawing near.
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...
