Anniversary of the Bridge Collapse
One year ago today at 6:05pm the 35 W bridge collapsed; a major artery running through the city of Minneapolis.
It’s one of those events where you remember where you were when you heard about it and just kept watching the local tv stations all night. The magnitude of what had happened took a while to fully comprehend.
While we are making progress on the new bridge this is a solomn day as we remember the families and lives that were directly impacted by this event.
Is God only praise worthy when bridges continue to act as bridges or is He still praise worthy when they collapse? Is He still good or has He lost the ability to sustain all things at the same time?
The God that I know is never changing - He is always good, always just. I am the clay. He is the potter. He does not have to explain Himself - justify Himself to me. So even when I don’t understand what He is doing or why I have to choose to trust Him - that’s why it’s called faith. He never said it would be easy but isn’t it so true that we learn more about who God is when He is our only answer?
