There's so much trouble and pain in the world. So much chaos, disease, wars, suffering, drought, wildfires, volcanoes, floods and on and on. The news is sobering and I am sure it causes anxiety in some people. Still, amidst all of the horrors that surround us I wonder how many people lift their faces to God above and ask Him to intervene? My guess is that few people do. Many people look to government to fix their problems.
If you think about drought for example, government can truly do little to relieve the problem. Man can figure out ways to move water from one location to another but they cannot create more water. Yet God is there- looking down- in hope that the drought would cause us to turn our faces to the ONLY true source and humbly ask Him to provide...but we stubbornly refuse.
Do we honestly think that WE are in control of life? We can't even make our own hearts beat. We are utterly dependent on the Creator and Sustainer of our existence and our lives could be so much more secure if we would only ask Him to help us. He would not withhold good.
There is immense peace from knowing confidently that even though the storm rages all around us, our feet are firmly planted on a large, solid Rock. Let the storm rage...my God is Sovereign over all.
