Norway.
The Bible in revelation, speaks of the "Tree of Life whose leaves are for the healing of the nations."
And in Norway there is a people who are in desperate need of healing.
In the midst of the welter of grief and agonized emotions a still, small factoid requires some thought.
Of all the western world, Norway boasts the population of lowest church attendance. A dismal 5% on any given Sunday.
The unified cry from Scandanavia after the hellish massacre last week has been " God where were you?"
To which the reply from Heaven might well be:
"And where have you been all these years?"
Ah, but help may be on the way. On Sunday there was standing room only in the churches, including the vast Oslo Cathedral.
I do not doubt that God's ear was open to their prayers.
Food for thought.
