When
the Bridge is Falling.
Never before have the twin cities been so
united. Minneapolis and St. Paul are no longer
connected by I-35, but they are connected in heart.
Interviews with survivors have touched our hearts as
well. Many were thanking God they made it out alive;
others grieve over their unexpected loss and perhaps
wonder why God did not spare their loved one.
It may be today that your world is
collapsing. Not from a broken bridge, but from broken
relationships and a broken life. At first it was just a
rumble. Now it is a sinking feeling. Where and when
will it end? You may be wondering if God is aware of
the situation.
When Jesus Christ walked this earth,
He was surrounded by a broken world. Marriages were
falling apart. Kids were rebellious toward parents.
Disease was prevalent. The poor were oppressed.
Religious systems were full of deceit and hypocrisy.
Jesus felt what you feel.
His answer to the
crushing weight of hopelessness was, “Come to Me, all
who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you
rest.”
You and I cannot depend upon the proper
functioning of every connecting bridge in our life. But
we can depend upon Jesus. Trust Him. He can make the
needed repairs.
