Time to weep…and pray!
Rom 12:15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Again our prayers and our hearts go out to those who have suffered greatly because of the floods in the eastern states of Australia. Loss of life, loss of homes and loss of possessions has hit so many. The waters are beginning to subside but only to reveal the carnage of the flood. Frustration, anger and dispute begin to come to the surface as emotions; insurance companies and grief now assume their positions. May our prayers be directed to the churches in Queensland that God will grant them wisdom and His leading as they minister to so many in need. May we also pray for those who have lost all, who now are at the end of their means, that their hearts will turn to their Shepherd for His care and comfort in Jesus Christ. Finally, may we who have observed but not been affected, not allow this event to not speak to us about our lives and our walk with God. For the times in which we live are perilous.
