You may wonder what had happened to me in the last week. I was on holiday in Cornwall on the south west tip of Britain. The weather was quiet reasonable and I enjoyed looking around a lovely garden near Penzance. It is good to have a break from one's usual routine, to recharge one's batteries and be refreshed. However there is always One who goes with us wherever we are and we don't take a rest from our faith and our worshipping of Jesus. He deserves all the worship we can give Him, at all times and it is good to know He is with us wherever we are and He is in charge of what happens to us. For the believer nothing is an accident, our Lord is with us and He is in charge.
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...
