Often in life we
have a difficulty up ahead and worry about how we will overcome it. The women on the way to the tomb were worried
about how they would get the stone away from the entrance to the tomb, but when
they arrived it had already been moved.
An angel had rolled it away with consummate ease. How relieved the women were and then they saw
that Jesus not there. We often worry
about things that God has already planned for and the difficulties we worry
about are already dealt with. Sometimes
the difficulties are smoothed away and sometimes we are given help to deal with
them. If we are trusting Jesus, all will
be well eventually, even if we have to go through difficulties to get there, all
will be well.
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...
