Quakes and Tsunami

Today, an 8.8 earthquake hit Japan which triggered a tsunami to happen sweeping off the coasts of Japan and destroying so many farmlands and properties.

Having no other borders to break the waves, this tsunami will bring forth smaller tsunami waves to my country.

It's scary. I have to admit that thinking about it is scary. The destruction it might bring worries me. Too many people will be affected, including the Christians in those areas. Once more, many people will lose so much of their "treasures".

But God is good. God remains faithful that even in moments of distress, He brings forth some source of comfort. People all over the world are informed about what's going on and what is about to happen.

Anyway, in the midst of all these event, my friend sent me this tweet.


I guess my mind was too focused on monitoring the quake and tsunami that I totally didn't think of receiving this. I honestly felt good upon receiving this tweet from Ezra, my Christian friend from Brunei. His assurance that I, including my country, would be in his prayers became a reminder for me that God holds me, even the Filipino people, at the palm of His hand. God remains in control in every thing that will transpire in my life.

Am I distressed? Yes. I worry about these things. However, it's nice to know that God is my refuge. He is my source of strength and knowing that I am at the palm of His hands, I am secure with Him and my heart his filled with peace that surpasses all understanding.

Thank you, Lord, for Ezra. Bless his heart. Thank you, Lord, for Your ways are not mine. Thank you, Lord, because in You, I find my peace and assurance.

Be glorified even in moments like this.
