I have some distant family members living in Christchurch, and I actually got to visit there 3 years ago. Do I know God's design for disaster? No. Do I think some things happen to punish people of sin? Maybe. Do others happen out of "coincidence"? We are already in a sinful and broken world. Things aren't promised to run smoothly. Although we may not know why some things happen, that should not make a difference in how Christians respond. I know it is much easier to type this is in comfort than it is when I am the one in the middle of distress or disaster. We are to be a people of prayer and continually seek God's face. These are just wake-up calls that we need to be reminded of how dependent on the Lord we need to be.Rachel Van Dykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18134880758476251869noreply@blogger.com
