Hard Times


Beautiful, isn't it? Sometimes beauty is deceiving though, for consider the turbulence that caused such grandeur. Without the electromagnetic energy from the sun and the effect on the ionosphere we wouldn't see such a sight. Consider this image the other way round; the problem is energy disruption, but the effect is wonderful. Think about the passage from Habakkuk 3:17ff. When problems come into our life (and they will) if we understand that the Hand of God is working, then perhaps we will have no problem seeing the blessing embedded within the situation. If we can do this, then perhaps Hard Times are really not so bad after all.
