Philippines

It is currently raining in the Philippines. It is not a typhoon but the rain is only caused by a monsoon. Though caused by monsoon alone, it surpassed the Ondoy typhoon that happened here years ago.

Genesis 8:7-12 is currently the top trend in twitter.
Genesis 8:7-12 is about Noah's ark. It is true and never a myth.
But remember in the succeeding verses.. God says in

Genesis 8:21
And the Lord was pleased with the aroma of the sacrifice and said to Himself, "I will NEVER again curse the ground because of the human race, even though everything they think or imagine is bent toward evil from childhood. I will NEVER again destroy all living things."

God is FOREVER FAITHFUL to His promises. His love never fails. We may fall short most of the times but He never will. His grace and love transcends anyone else's understanding. Why should we fear? Why are we worrying? Where is the faith that God looks for in each of us? Do we pray with faith? Do we pray just for ourselves or we pray for the sake of everyone? Faith is believing in something even though we are not able to see. Yet. 

John 20:29
"Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who HAVE NOT seen and yet HAVE BELIEVED."

Yes, the weather is indeed terrifying right now. It has affected a lot of people already. Some already died because of this unpredictable weather. Some are stranded in places and are unable to go back home. Some are worried about their homes. Some doesn't know what to do anymore. Whom can we go to? Whom can we get strength and comfort? NO ONE. No one BUT GOD! God is all mighty.. all powerful. Did you totally forgot about Him? Did you forget how great He is when He used ordinary people to do extraordinary things? Did you forget how He sent His one and only son to the cross just to die for our sins? Did you forgot how He loves you no matter who you are and who you have been? Did you forget all His promises? Did you forget how gracious and loving is our Father? Please.. beloved. Don't be overwhelmed by the situation. Look to God. All we have to do is to go to Him. We should not be discouraged just because we don't see it right now. The sun will shine. By faith and by His pure grace. Let's pray for everyone's safety, comfort and strength for the affected people.

PRAY. Never underestimate the power of prayer. It is the simplest yet the most powerful thing we could do right now. God is good. He hears :)
