If you put every effort into your life to be rich and famous or very wealthy, what will you end up with? A body in a grave, and a soul lost for eternity. If you put your effort into following God, byt putting your trust in Jesus, you may have very little in this life but in the next you will share the glory of Jesus with Him as He has promised. It is right to put a certain amount of effort into this life but it is the next that really matters. Where are you putting your effort? You cannot serve God and money. You will serve one and despise the other. Money could do with being despised a little more in your life. You dare not despise God.
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...
