Wisdom 4/28/15
In May of 1953 the world was electrified
with the news that Mt. Everest in Nepal, the world’s highest mountain, had been
successfully climbed by Sir Edmund Hillary, an English-man, and Tensing Norgay,
a Nepalese Sherpa.
That was an achievement over which the
world rejoiced.
Today climbing Mt. Everest is quite
common. One day over 200 people made the ascent with a guide tour.
The climb is so common that the mountain
is become littered with torn tents, empty canisters, other discarded equipment,
It has become so bad that they had begun regular clean-up attempts.
But the news today is an earthquake in
the area. The body count now is over 4000 and the country is begging the world
for help. Help is being sent, but reaching the villages in the mountains is difficult.
So I plead, and every Christian does,
for prayer. For the ancient king is right, “More things are wrought by prayer
than this world dreams of.”
So let us be sure to include the people of
the region, unknown to us, but known to
our gracious God
And may He comfort and bless .
