PEG'S PONDERINGS AND TOBY'S THOUGHTS
10 do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be afraid, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you; I will help you;
I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
It seems every time a tragedy of any sort occurs, I hear many people say, “where was God? How could He have allowed this to happen?” Even to go as far as to say, “if there was a God He never would have allowed this to happen.”
What is forgotten in questions and statements like this is that man has free will. God did not cause the tragedy, man did. But, I choose to see the inevitable miracles, and there are always many of them. For instance, the little 7-year-old girl who was rescued after several days following the devastating flood and landslide in Nepal. I ask instead, how much worse would this have been without God? In any tragedy, there are always the stories of how much worse it would have been if it occurred at this time, and the location would have been full of visitors, commuters, patrons, etc. If people hadn’t been able to get to safety, if this, that or other prevention hadn’t happened, the devastation would have been even worse than it was. These miracles are God. God is present and active in all our tragedies.
1 God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Psalm 46:1
Love in Action
“Love in Action” is the Church of the Hills mission team. The primary goal of the team is to serve the needs of others locally, nationally, and internationally. The people of Church of the Hills are blessed with unique gifts; although the size of our congregation is smaller, sharing these gifts remains a vital part of our outreach ministry.
The “Love in Action” Committee will guide us to be Christ’s faithful witnesses. As such, we will share a deep life of service and participate in God’s mission to care for the needs of the sick, the poor, and the lonely to establish Christ’s just, loving, and peaceable rule in the world.
