Hard To Fathom

  ‘The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.’”Psalm 34:18

Some things in life are hard to fathom and especially the July 4 central Texas flash floods that took the lives of several people including many 8 year old Christian girls at a camp. My heart aches for these families. Several are still unaccounted for. 

In life tragedies occur. Who can explain the death of a baby at birth or a promising teenager who planned to go to medical school?What about the young newlywed struck down by cancer? Or newlyweds who perished as a plane crashed upon take off. All these are things that actually happened. 

Life is fragile handle with prayer for sure. Most people seem to want to scream at God when tragedy occurs. God doesn’t cause people to die but in life people have free will and storms and stuff just happen. If you know of someone experiencing loss just be their comforter and let them cry if they need to. 

PRAYER: Lord I don’t understand losses either but I know they are part of life. May something good come from these recent tragedies in Texas. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
