Baby 81

Praise God for the life of a 3-month-old baby that was swept out of his mother's arms in the tsunami! How else could a young infant still be alive after such a situation, but God's awesome hand?
This is a tough subject, though, because so many others did not survive this horrible tragedy. Where was God then? I know there are many people who wonder this.
And the answer is that He was right there with every one of them. Those who knew Him personally and had accepted the gift of salvation offered by His son, Jesus, were immediately taken to heaven and are living a much fuller, joyous existence; they need no mourning. And everything that happened works out for the good of those who love God - the Bible tells us.
I know that some of the good is visible and some will never be discerned by human minds. The visible blessings that have resulted are numerous: groups and countries crossing borders and prejudices to bring aid to the survivors, an increase in church attendance and interest in religious beliefs as a result of the "kick in the pants" of all that death and destruction.
And Baby 81 must have a special purpose that we can't know yet. Or his parents do. Who knows?
