With all due acknowledgment to the many people who are adversely affected by the situation with the volcano in Iceland pretty much grounding all air travel in Europe – I know this must be very, very frustrating and/or damaging to lots of people. I empathize with their frustration, and pray for swift resolution to whatever issues this unexpected turn of events has caused.
However, I can’t help but chuckle. We’re an amazing creation, humankind. We’re also pretty confident about how things are and how they ought to be and how they’re going to be. I find it a healthy reminder that in an age when so much is possible, it’s good to remember that something as simple as a volcano in pretty much the middle of nowhere can demonstrate exactly how little control we have over our world and our lives.
A good reminder for all of us, all of the time. Towards that end, I found this post just too fantastic not to include here . This is the God I fear and love. I place my life in His hands because that is what I was created to do, and because despite my petty pretensions to the contrary, I have no other choice. I am always in His hands. And I know that regardless of the results of my life, no matter what it might look like to someone on the outside, I know that I can trust this dangerous God to love me as only He can and will – with a love that sacrificed His own Son so that I might live.
