Was God sadistically absent? That's what Robert McClory, professor emeritus of journalism at Northwestern blah blah asked.. we may try to exonerate the Almighty for permitting disasters dat rip apart vulnerable communities. But is God absent in such situations? No, McClory insists. TAlking about the Katrina tragedy, he said God was invisibly present "with the suffering and the dying. He was in the individuals, communities, churches, and schools that organised aid for the victims and took evacuees into their cities and homes. He was with the hundreds of thousands who showed compassion by prayer and financial assistance."
So it is in our own lives when a heartbreaking tragedy occurs, such as the death of someone we love. We have no complete satisfactory answer to life's painful problems. we do know, however. that the Lord is present with us, for He said He would never leave us (Heb. 13:5). Jesus's name "Immanuel" literally means "God is with us" (matt. 1:23). Even though suffering baffles in our minds, we can trust God to be near and to work out His purposes.
God's unseen presence comforts me,
i knoe He's always near;
And when life's storms besiege our soul,
He says, "My child. I'm here."
The storms of our life
prove the strength of our Anchor.
Surely He has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows.
Isaiah 53:4
