The christian has the peace of God that passes all understanding. We read this in Philippians 4:7.Why does this peace pass all understanding? It is because God gives it to us when we are at our most threatened. To the non-christian it doesn't make sense to be at peace in turmoil. We know that we are safe in Jesus, no matter what gets thrown at us. Enter into this peace today. The problems you face are already dealt with by God. The solution is already waiting in the future. We are passing through difficult terrain but our destination is sure. I pray that you may be able to receive this peace wherever you are in the world today.
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...
