In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16

Eyjafjallajokull - Volcano

Many people are saying that God is causing all this destruction that we are currently seeing in the world.  From Hurricane Katrina, to earthquakes like in Hatti and now Eyjafjallajokull, this volcano eruption in Iceland.  It is true the earth is groaning....Rom 8:18- 25 tell us so:
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.  For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.  And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body. For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.
But I know God is only capable of good so therefore bad cannot come from something that is totally good.  Bad things happen, but not because of a good God.  It is true all things pass before the thrown of God but He is bound by His Word.  Man caused evil to enter the world...not God.  Man is the reason for bad in the world...not God.

With that, I thought you would be moved to see the impact this volcano has had.  The link will show you incredible photos of the situation.  Simply overwhelming and breathtaking.  What a massive situation beyond our human comprehension.  There is nothing to do but get out of the way.
