The storms of our life prove the strength of our Anchor
« on: September 09, 2007, 12:07:57 PM »
Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows. —Isaiah 53:4

Was God sadistically absent? That’s what Robert McClory, professor emeritus of journalism at the Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, asked after Hurricane Katrina devastated the New Orleans area of the US.

We may want to try to exonerate the Almighty for permitting disasters that rip apart vulnerable communities. But is God absent in such situations? No, McClory insists. Talking about the Katrina tragedy, he said that God was invisibly present “with the suffering and the dying. He was in the individuals, communities, churches, and schools that organized aid for the victims and took evacuees into their cities and homes. He was with the hundreds of thousands who showed compassion by prayer and financial assistance.”

So it is in our own lives when a heartbreaking tragedy occurs, such as the death of someone we love. We have no completely satisfactory answer to life’s painful problems. We do know, however, that the Lord is present with us, for He said He would never leave us (Heb. 13:5). Jesus’ name “Immanuel” literally means “God with us” (Matt. 1:23).

Even though suffering baffles our minds, we can trust God to be near and to work out His purposes. —Vernon Grounds

God’s unseen presence comforts me,
I know He’s always near;
And when life’s storms besiege our soul,
He says, “My child, I’m here.” —D. De Haan

The storms of our life prove the strength of our Anchor.

Reading materials like this, makes my eyes water, Dong Mike, as it is almost instinctive for most people to blame God for calamities and problems!

Some people even think that they do not need God in their lives, as they think that they are self-sufficient and very able, in all respects!  But until they are besieged with problems beyond their control, it is then that they start to acknowledge the presence of God!

The intensity of life's problems, could I think, be aptly compared to an exam.  The more difficult an exam, the more respect one gains for passing it?   ;D

Yes, it is true. Jesus our Savior is always with us, enabling us to be content no matter what our circumstances. Because of Him, we can be kind even toward those who mistreat us. As we love Him, trust Him, and depend on Him, He will give us strength to do the impossible.

It matters a lot what a person's perspective of God is. One who believes that God is just, righteous, perfect, fair, and that there is nothing evil in Him, will not point his finger to God when something goes wrong.

If I believe that God is perfect, then I find no wrong in Him in whatever circumstances in life.

Everything is happen for a reason, and according to God's plan..

If a person is in trouble and calls the Lord heartily, He is always there for us.. Right that very moment when we need him the most.
