You drew near in the day that I called on you

You drew near in the day that I called on you: you said, Fear not. - Lamentations 3-57 

Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Hurricanes, Social Unrest
All the things that are going on around us
Yet one only has to reach out
And God can put your fears to rest...

Volcanic ash paralyzes half the world - an sign ?

These few days most of Europe has been paralyzed by an event which happened in Iceland. A volcano decided to spew ash into the atmosphere. This event has stopped all air traffic to and from Europe. Air travel, the pinnacle of mans technology advancement totally stopped. Could this be a warning of how fragile our efforts and advancements are in the light of the big picture ? Could this be a way of God trying to highlight to us our insignificance in believing that how great we are ?

It is a sobering thought especially in the light of the number of earthquakes happening in the world at this time. What we put our faith in especially if it is man made, may be more fragile then we know. In a blink of an eye it can be made useless and redundant.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all those who have been stranded by the global event and may they get safely home.

A new day dawns - a day to be thankful

As one of my friends pointed out, we here in Malaysia are most fortunate as twice we have been protected from the full force of the earthquake that brought so much destruction in Indonesia, through the upheaval and the following Tsunami. The Indonesian mainland protected us from the full force of the earthquake and the Tsunami that followed thus sparing us from the full impact of the devastation.

While India, Philippines and Taiwan bear the brunt of the Typhoon and storms that afflict us, all we have to moan about is getting stuck in traffic jams due to rain.


We need to give thanks to God for the blessing of protecting us in these times of climatic upheavals.

Also after watching the movie Darfur Now, we should also be more appreciative of the life that we have, of abundance and comfort, free from persecution and having food on our tables. Essential watching for anyone.

Please be thankful and take a moment to thank God for your life and what you have.

I sought the LORD

"I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears."— Psalm 34:4 (NIV)

In this unsettling times...typhoons, earthquakes, threats of war,
Remember the shelter that he has promised,
Seek him for comfort
And you shall find peace

Remembering those in Indonesia, Phillipines Taiwan, Sri Lanka, India and any one who is in harms way.
