How can you best have a fulfilling life? Is it a matter of the career you chose, or the hobby you follow? Although these things can give you a satisfying life to a certain extent, true fulfillment can only be found in serving Jesus. He may well place you in a job that you enjoy, but the greatest pleasure comes from doing everything for Him. Any setback that comes your way, commit it to Him knowing that He is in control. His plan for you is the very best even though it includes pain and sorrow. Your life may be in a storm but He is at the helm, he will bring you through. He has said," Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Matthew 6v33) The "other things" it mentions are the daily necessities.If we keep our sights on Jesus He will look after us and give us what we need, but not what we are greedy for.
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...
