Is it your wife? Well
men are told to love their wives as Jesus loves the church, but that does not
mean to idolize her. Love and cherish
her, help her, but not to idolize her.
Idolize gives the game away, it means you are worshipping her and this
is wrong. Similarly the wife should not
idolize her husband. That place is for
Jesus alone. There are many other things in our lives which can have that
central place, which they should not have.
It could be your job or a sport either played or watched. We have to root out these things again and
again and put Jesus where He belongs at the centre of our lives.
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...
