Sometimes, it just doesn’t hit you. I’ve lived in Calgary for 19 years. It’s a beautiful city, safe, progressive, and a great place to raise a family. Other than an occasional blizzard during winter, there are no real calamities that have hit the city.
The floods of these past few days have been very eye opening. No matter how smooth your life is, a storm will come, trials will come, and devastation will come. Where is God in all of these?
No matter how bleak the situation is, God will bring out the best in people. I see God in the outpouring of support, the willingness to lend a hand, to open their homes even to strangers. When people come together in the midst of adversity, God is there.
Some people wonder why God doesn’t intervene to prevent these calamities, wars, crime etc. And yet they ask God to stay out of their lives.
I can never expect to understand the wisdom of our Lord, but I fully trust in Him. In the midst of all the chaos in this world, all we have to have is an expectant faith, to be still and know that He is our GOD!
Praise God! 🙂
Thank you, Tito, for having such open eyes, and such an open heart!
Calgary is in my prayers!
God bless!
