There is nothing in this life that you can depend on. Your health can suddenly deteriorate, your wealth can evaporate; your marriage can end. What terrifying prospects. What can you do to protect yourself? There is only one who is always dependable and that is Jesus. He promises that if you come to Him He will never turn you away, He will never let you down. He is the One who entirely pleased the Father and took our sin upon Himself so that all who believe in Him and His power to save have forgiveness and find acceptance in God. Are you going to muddle along on your own in life, or will you trust 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...
