Though the reality may be sad in and of itself there is also so much to be thankful for. So much beauty still left in the world and we must never neglect to make time to sit in awe of His beauty that surrounds us. To make time for something as simple and yet as powerful as a sunset. I would also like to just make note that often it can take bringing a person, or in this instance, a nation to it's breaking point in order for it's people to fix their minds and heart on Him. Though the rest of the world around us may be in shambles we have a rock, a source of stability that reaches far beyond any man-made sense of security. Is that not worth so much more.
One of our translators and myself toured a school the other day and when a group of teenagers were asked why they were so happy, they responded with, "because we are still alive."--May we all adopt this same mentality so that we never miss a door that God may be opening right before our eyes.
“But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built! (1 Kings 8:27)
"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands." (Acts 17:24)
