Where there is catastrophe, we never need to looker further than those people who are there, helping. Some don’t believe they are doing His work, just ‘doing their job,’ or ‘getting the job done.’ But whether they believe it or not, Jesus is working through them. My prayers are with the victims of disaster and war.

Our identity is hidden in them. In them we find ourselves and God. In these fragments He has not only revealed Himself to us but ourselves in Him.” Thomas Merton, The Sign of Jonas. Those of us who waited out Harvey’s deluge thank God, our refuge, and pray and do what we can for our neighbors who suffered. Thank all for their prayers for Florida and for Texas.

Ask anyone who has suffered. When do you ever feel closer to God? When you need Him most, when you are suffering.

Say what you will about the random tracks of hurricanes, if it bring you closer to God, how can it be bad?

Mark
