Are you a fear full Christian perplexed by the state of our
world, perplexed by the state of your health, perplexed by what is happening in
your family? We are all like that at some point and that is why in the Bible,
so many times, we are told, “Fear not.”
But it is easier said than done.
The trouble is we have so poor an idea of who God is and what He is
like. God is totally in control of everything
that happens in this world. His will is
being done. We worry about the wars in
the world, about the migrants crossing Europe in hope of finding a better
life. We see a mess, but from God’s
perspective everything is working out for God’s glory and our eternal welfare
if we are trusting Jesus. Take all your worries to God and surrender to Him and
say, “Your will be done,” That takes the panic out of every situation.
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...
