disasters.

It’s hard to see what’s going on around the world and not react; some reaction is obviously felt. Whether you feel anger towards the stupid people making stupid decisions, or you feel compassion for the hurting people of the world, you have a reaction to the world around you. Being the optimist I am, I tend to feel compassion for people. I want to reach out and help everyone, but currently I have $6 in my checking account. So I sit and think, “How will my $6 do much of anything?” Its not the money that I have in my possession that is going to help people, it’s the love in my heart for a God who can work miracles. I know that through prayer and sacrifice of what little I have, God will show up and deal out like he always does. I cannot give up on my end if I expect God to hold out on his end. I know that God doesn’t do the whole bargaining thing, but there are two sides to the equation, and they have to be balanced. We cannot expect a life-long commitment from God if we aren’t willing to do the same.

But, I digress. God is the answer to troubling times. People, however, often ask God where He is when bad things happen and when disaster strikes, but God is asking us the very same question…
