As I am writing this I am currently watching and hearing about the devastation that hurricane Ike is currently bringing to many people in Texas. Such disasters make people start to think about what is really important in life, but it also raises the question of why would God allow such terrible things to happen? Thanks to the women of the Girl Talk blog, I discovered a very insightful quote from Dr. Albert Mohler that I would like to share. He states,
“Perhaps we should pray as Jesus taught us, praying that the Father’s will would be done, that all persons would be spared harm, and that Christians would respond in the aftermath of disaster with a clear Christian witness of care, assistance, and witness. We should pray that any ‘natural’ disaster would be an opportunity for Christian witness to the supernatural Gospel, and for Christian reflection on the beauty of the Savior.”
I could not have said it any better. That is my prayer for today and this weekend, and I hope you will make it your prayer as well!
