Does your worth as a person depend on how much work you do? Do you think God rates you according to how much you do? Your worth depends on what He has done for you, not on what you can do. To be considered of worth to God all you need is to know you are trusting in Jesus. Of course you have to earn a living, but this must not be your first priority. Having fellowship with God is what you need most of all. We so easily think we are only as good as the things we do. Just as too much work can come between you and your family, so it can come between you and God. Having the right balance can be difficult to achieve but it is worth while to do this. It is possible to be very busy in your church and yet be giving very little time to God.Take a long hard look at what you are doing and ask God to show what His priorities are for you.
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...
