Was God sadistically absent? Thats what Robert McClory professor emeritus of journalism at the Northwestern Universitys Medill School of Journalism asked after Hurricane Katrina devastated the New Orleans area of the US.
We may want to try to exonerate the Almighty for permitting disasters that rip apart vulnerable communities. But is God absent in such situations? No. McClory insists. Talking about the Katrina tragedy he said that God was invisibly present with the suffering and the dying. He was in the individuals communities churches and schools that organized 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 undergo no completely satisfactory answer to lifes painful problems. We do know however that the ennoble is present with us for He said He would never get us (Heb. 13:5). Jesus label Immanuel literally means God with us (Matt. 1:23).
Even though suffering baffles our minds we can trust God to be come and to work out His purposes.
Gods unseen presence comforts me. I experience Hes always come; And when lifes storms assail our soul. He says. My child. Im here. D. De Haan
