The 9-11 Terrorist Attack was mentioned in the message several weeks ago. I was working in Koriyama Baptist Church in northern Japan at the time, and a short-termer had come from the U.S to help out at fellowshipping churches in the area. When she heard the news, it seems friends and relatives had been affected by the attack, and she was rather depressed for a while.
It's okay; God knows what He's doing, I had to remind myself.
Sure enough. The family workplace had had no way of repaying a mammoth corporation a debt by the time they demanded. They threatened to move in on our business in Koriyama as well. The Quake, however, enabled us to sell our apartment and pay off the debt--plus the radiation discouraged the company from coming to Koriyama. God had come through for us again.
Actually, there was much more that happened those few months, but I'll mention just these two things. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills. How can we forget?
