I was reviewing Monday's section and began thinking more about things that are beyond our control, such as the weird weather we have been having lately. I have seen on the news recently the damage tornadoes have done. How do, or can, we respond to such events? Fortunately, we do not normally have tornadoes here, but we do have them on a very rare occasion. The same goes for hurricanes. We rarely have them, the last one being Hurricane Juan that hit Halifax, NS as well as the area where we live now. Monday's section asks:
How do we respond? Do we just stand there and watch, allowing ourselves to be dominated by them; or do we, trusting in God and in His love for us, seek to be faithful to our tasks and obligations despite things that we cannot control?
I also ask and wonder, how do we respond to such devastating events, such as hurricanes and tornadoes? Perhaps a better question is, how should we respond? Bear in mind though, that how we should respond, and how we do respond, can be two different things.

I like the following thought from Tuesday's section:
And though God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts, we can know at least that His thoughts to us are "thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end" (Jer. 29:11). And that expected end is eternal life in a new heaven and a new earth, a life without suffering, Satan, loss, and death. That's the expected end, the promised end, the end that Jesus had in mind for each of us when He died on the cross.
"For God so loved the world that He gave us His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, will not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16 from memory)
