My God is Mighty to Save.

My God can rebuild Haiti; I am not hopeless. My God can overcome this destruction; I will rejoice.
When tragedy occurs, it is so easy to ask questions. It is hard to accept that we do not always get answers. When we’re broken, it is easy to give up on God. It is hard to trust Him. When we’re devastated, it is easy to blame God. It is more difficult to praise Him.
Most of all, it seems impossible to believe in a God who would let this happen.
But isn’t that what we always do? We blame God for tragedy, for an unhappy ending, for sitting idly by while we are destroyed. This is the human condition; we always come in at the tragedy and fail to see that this is a love story still playing itself out.
This tragedy isn’t the end. Destruction never has the final say. All the power of darkness can never extinguish the unwavering promise of Light.
This has always been a romance between our wandering human hearts and a God who is faithful to the promises of His word. He promised that He would never leave us. If we feel abandoned, we can only blame our lack of faith in his promise. If we feel hopeless, only
He promises life. He promises rebirth. He promises rebuilding. He promises redemption.
Yes, there can be redemption through this pain, because God is mighty to save.
It’s hard to see right now. The news only shows the images of grief and loss and sadness, but in the distance, I know many Haitians gather every night to worship God, to glorify Him in the midst of their loss.
They are not hopeless. Neither am I.
