For those of us who trust in Jesus the only happy place is to be where He wants us to be, doing what He wants. Think about it, your Lord has a plan for you and whatever that is is the best thing for you. It may be He wants you to continue in a job you find difficult, but it maybe that He wants to move you on to something new. He will give you clues along the way to prepare you. Part of God's plan for me this year was to go to Russia, something I would never have thought possible two years ago, but now it has happened. Life with Jesus is a wonderful adventure. Maybe the only reason I went to Russia was so that on the plane home I would talk about Jesus to a young man from Indonesia. Maybe my Russian adventure will continue. I hope so, I believe so as I am continuing to learn the language and loving doing so. What adventure will Jesus take you on?
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...
