I opened my computer on Sunday morning and my smh homepage had this picture.
How heartbreaking it is to see so many lives lost. It’s hard to tear your eyes away from the stories and the sorrow of so much devastation. It arouses our emotions. I feel so sad. I want to do something (and we can with the Archbishop's and other appeals).

But that photo also made me think about a verse from Hebrews.
‘Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.’ Heb 12:28-29
I wonder - how often do I feel the same degree of sadness for friends who will one day be in the hands of the judgment of this God, the one who is described like those fires. How often do I recognise the greatness of this God and truly fall and worship in utter awe?
I want to do 2 things...
1. Use the opportunity to connect and talk to people about our God
2. Use the images to remember that our God is a consuming fire worthy of worship
