God Reigns (Pun Intended)

A service was held thanking God for holding off the rain at Whaley Bridge enabling the damaged dam repair to take place.

But wasn't it God who caused excess rain which led to the damage in the first place - so why didn't they hold a service condemning him ?

That's not how religion works. If something good happens it's the will of God, if it's something bad it's because people have sinned.God wins every time.

God didn't build the dam.

A lovely way to thank all those who worked tirelessly to help too.

I've found the best policy is to leave 'God' out of it . . . entirely. This frees the mind to focus on what really matters.
