Fires
It has been a dreadful time in Victoria this past week. You cannot read a paper or use the electronic media without a heavy heart. The tragedy is beyond comprehension.
The responses of people have been amazing. The compassion so many people are showing encourages ones faith in humanity.
The dreadful statement of Danny Nalliah of "Catch the Fire" ministries deserve the strongest condemnation. To say the fires were God's Judgement on Victoria shows a complete ignorance of both the Scriptures and our understanding of God, who is Love.
The Cross of Christ reminds us that God is in the very midst of our suffering, God is in the midst of our pain and despair. There is nothing blacker than Good Friday, but there is nothing more glorious than Easter day.
We don't have all the answers, we see, as St paul says, through a glass, darkly. But we know, that God, in Christ, is present with us.
"Even though I walk through the valley and shadow of death, I fear no evil, you are with me!" [Ps 23]
In these current circumstances we are called to act compassionately, be generous, and pray fervently, trusting in the God who will lead us into the glory of His Kiingdom.
