Following a week of extreme heat waves and yesterday's 46.4oC record highest temperature, fires continue to rage throughout Victoria wreaking havoc and widespread devastation.While Victorians watch on in horror and disbelief, contemplating the current death toll of 35 (and rising!) we can't avoid feeling helpless about what we can do to provide much-needed relief and assistance.
At times of tragedy like this, Christians have been known to say, "The least we can do is pray." My own personal faith experience assures me that the MOST we can do is pray. Intercessory prayer coupled with practical assistance will bring the most benefit to all concerned.
Deuteronomy 33:25 (KJV) ~ "As your days, so shall your strength be."
PS. Ironically, the 'Ambassadors of Holiness' sessional song for this afternoon's Cadets Welcome is titled, "Keep the fire burning!"...not, we pray, in a physical sense!

At our Corps in the MCD the 2 meetings scheduled for the morning were turned into prayer meetings rather than go ahead with what had been planned. We followed the Spirit's leading and Yes, I agree with you, the most we can do is pray. A number of our corps folk are also members of the State Em. Services team and so they were missing either because they had been up all night and were resting or else they were at the front line of duty. May God bless their efforts and keep them safe.
