A Global Search for Flight 370

3/19/2014

A Boeing 777 with 239 people on board is still missing. Flight 370 left Kuala Lampur, Malaysia late Friday, March 7 that was to land in Beijing, China. It went missing in the early hours of March 8 and there is no trace of the plane anywhere. Transmitters were intentionally turned off and an altered course detected. The search area is 7 million square miles and more than two dozen countries are involved in the search.

Anguished family members who are tormented by the unknown are photographed and their pictures remind us that this is a mystery that is not a movie or book, but involves real lives.

What does this mystery tell us about our world?
1.       It is dangerous. There are accidents, attacks and injustices every day.
2.       It is connected. The world is watching this drama unfold. A variety of countries are mobilizing military, professional and amateur search and rescue efforts.
3.       It is compassionate. People are moved with compassion to help in big and small ways. Some ways are directed in the search efforts and some are directed towards those waiting to hear word of their loved ones who are missing.
4.       It is critical. Frustration over information that lacks accuracy or timeliness results in anger from one agency or country to another.

My prayer is that the LORD would reveal the whereabouts of missing Flight 370 and every passenger would be rescued.

Psalms 46:1-3
God is our refuge and strength,
    an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
    and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
    and the mountains quake with their surging.
