When we believe in free will we can find ourselves fretting
and worrying about the least little thing.
But when we trust in an all powerful God and are trusting in him, much
of life’s worry vanishes. If God is in
control of our lives and we belong to him, only the best will come to us even
if it is in the form of trouble, in the end it will be for the best. I find these words from the Lord’s Prayer
very comforting, “Thy will be done.”
When you realize His power you know His will, will be done and be for
the very best. Trusting like this takes
years of practice, start trusting now.
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...
