The Bible is full of stories. I especially like the ones that cover a pivotal event that changed the course of the future.
It is a time for grieving in Moore, Oklahoma. The morning after a terrible swift moving tornado touched down that city and the state are recovering from the shock of death and destruction visited upon them in a matter of minutes on Monday afternoon. Our prayers go out to the victims and their families and friends. The slow movements of a new reality and recovery are upon them in the cold clear light of a new life. May God, who alone knows why He allows these forces of nature to randomly occur, hold them all in His perfect grace.
Jesus said, "Blessed are the peace makers, for they shall be called the sons of God." Everyone agrees with the concept, but how can we practice peacemaking? Sometimes it seems like you can't get through a day without experiencing conflict with a family member, neighbor, co-worker or a stranger on the subway.
I have always found the business world to be a fascinating study in human nature. There are those who are more interested in selling than they are in serving the needs of their customers. On the other hand there are those who seem to have service at the core of their efforts. How does service change the way a person sees his customers?
Thank you so much for these helpful points! A sincere apology is truly more than just words.
With all respect I agree with BaaronW. I will add that it is too late to pray for the deceased ones as Our Father's Word teaches. It is always good to be thankful of course. This tragedy will almost certainly turn some folks' heart to Father Yahweh as He also teaches. Remember Job. Personally I feel this is another sign of...
So much for being anonymous... ;-)
"Christian loving", sharing the love of God as practiced in Christian living. We should continually be taught "how to behave", and directly from scripture; it's absolutely necessary. But, maybe we need to understand better from where our strength actually comes.
Maybe that...
LOL This was funny. I like the puzzle that must be unsolved for the day. Like I said before. Have a beautiful day UCG staff. See you tonight at the LIve Bible study.
