Tonight you may be planning your day for tomorrow, but how
much of that plan will you accomplish.
You may over sleep and be late for work, you didn’t plan that. One of
your colleagues may be off sick and your work load suddenly be doubled. You didn’t for see that. Of course there are those days when
everything goes to plan and you are exhilarated by how much you have
accomplished, but then again you could not have for seen it would be like that.
We live in a world that is governed by God.
He knows the end from the beginning.
He has planned each step of your life and mine, even the bad bits. And yet we are still responsible for what we
do and we are not automatons. That’s difficult to take on board. We do not have a puny God who mistakenly lets
accidents get past Him, no He is fully in charge of all things, all powerful,
all seeing, all knowing. Frightening,
unless we have the robe of righteousness that Jesus supplies, to all who
believe in Him.
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...
