Natural disasters

So many natural disasters of late....

No of deaths in Cyclone Nargis in Burma has risen to more than 40,000; China quake toll to top 50,000, US southern states hit by tornadoes and many were killed in the Uttar Pradesh storm in India today.

All of these unleash a devastating and an uncontrallable force. In a matter of seconds, lives are destroyed and are forever changed; never to be same again.

Power, strength and might - we stand in awe at these as they unravel before our eyes. Yet nothing, absolutely NOTHING can touch or even come close to the omnipotent display of God's power and natural wonder. He is the author and perfecter of life. He is the creator of all living things. From the kings of the forests, to the birds of the air and the fishes of the seas and even the insects in our garden, he created them all. And He has set the natural laws in place to govern all living things.

Life is full of surprises. We don't know what is to come except that the Sovereign Lord is in all control at all times. For us who belong to Christ, we need not be afraid of tomorrow and what it holds because our lives are in HIS hands:)
