Samaritan's Purse folks from all over are currently serving in Zanesville, Ohio, where the last few weeks had multiple floods.
Catastrophic flash flooding has impacted Perry and Muskingum counties in Ohio following multiple rounds of heavy rainfall.
Rapidly rising water flooded homes and roadways, made some communities difficult to access, and created dangerous conditions for residents.
"Why Do (Seemingly) Bad Things Happen to Good People?"
Why do random chance events happen in view of the sovereignty of God? Why are some able to live on the high ground and others in a flood plain. And the wind and rain and the course or path it follows - ?
"No one can master the wind and contain it—it blows as it will."
Ecclesiastes 8:8 voice
We may not fully understand in our lifetime why certain things happen.
And we know God is good even when we don’t fully understand.
Jerry Sittser writes in ‘A Grace Disguised’
“..The answer may be that there is none. By answer I mean that it is going to somehow solve the problem. I think we have to learn to live in tension. Yet,we can still figure out how to carry-on and find meaning,still choose to love and carry the grief forward that becomes mysteriously life-giving to us and other people.
“There are some things that the Lord our God has kept secret. Only he knows these things. But he told us about some things. And these teachings are for us and our descendants forever..."
Deuteronomy 29:29 (ERV)
Beautiful people undergoing struggle and loss of a lifetime - prayers up 🙏🏼
