A Hard Lesson

Today we are learning that the death toll from the great tsunami is almost 120,000. My human mind can't comprehend the immense tragedy that this is. As a believer I feel very unprepared to answer a question as simple as "why would your God allow this to happen". Frankly, I don't know. I know and serve a God who is more powerful than any tsunami would ever be, yet I feel a sense of confusion when I think of what God could have done. As I search the scriptures I see that grace is found in ever single part of creation. God will use this tragedy for some good. I couldn't explain that to someone who just lost a loved one, but I can approach God and pray that through this tragedy the light of Christ will shine somewhere. I am proud to be a part of the most giving nation in the world, both in government giving, and in personal chartitable giving. We may not be able to answer questions, but we can be the light of Christ. Keep praying for a sense of peace for those affected by this tragedy.
