LOOK UP

"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith." - Galatians 6:9-10 NIV

My heart cries for the victims of the super typhoon Yolanda. The typhoon hit the Philippines especially the Visayas area. This typhoon is labeled as one of the strongest typhoons in the world for this year. The news showed how much the super typhoon devastated the areas. A picture of towns of dead people, houses destroyed, businesses lost, shortage of food and water, no transportation and no means of communication. 

For me, this is a wake-up call for everybody to go back to God. Sometimes, the things of this world try to destruct and lead us to forget God. But at the same time, God allows these disasters to teach us lessons. Lessons to remind us to take care of the environment and on taking the opportunity to help people through prayers, encouragement and donations.

In these tough times of trials and testings it is good to always "look up" to the Creator and Sustainer of the world - God. He alone is the answer to our "whys,whats and hows" of this life. I encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ to continue to pray and help the victims of the typhoon through financial and material donations.

God bless the Philippines!
