Personally I think the idea of giving credit to God in one breath and asserting that his influence is always undetectable with the next is an insult to the men and women of the human race who are actually working to improve things, and whose actions are very much detectable. Credit where credit is due - to the people whose existence and actions we can observe, not to some do-nothing God.
Well said.
And some of those people pay the ultimate price for their good work. Australian military personnel are currently doing relief operations in Indonesia after the recent earthquake. They were on their way home from doing relief work after the tsunami, when they were called to turn around and go back after last week’s earthquake. Their actions are very detectable, especially by the people they are helping, who are grieving over dead loved ones, whose homes have been destroyed, and who have no food or supplies.
They’re doing a hard and hazardous job a long way from home and family, in order to help others, which is great example of human courage and dedication. God certainly wasn’t anywhere to be seen when 9 of them were killed on the weekend, when their helicopter crashed during a relief op.
