self admittedly, I seldom read the news, especially so when I'm in London. Usually when I hear news of all the natural disasters happening around me, my reaction would be 'oh no, that's sad..' and then forget about it in the next second. Maybe it's a sign that I'm getting older when this time, as I look at the death tolls in Myanmar and China..I actually take a second look at the numbers, and try to read more on what's been happening. Such painful disasters..so many lives lost..Almost incomprehensible.
On one hand, my heart really goes out to the children who lost their parents, the wives who lost their husbands, the workers who lost their livelihood and homes..but on the other hand, I am reminded to give thanks for the safety God has given me, the security that many, many times I take for granted.
Amidst all these..God is still God. He's the God of all, and the King of Kings. I guess what we can do easily just from where we are is just to keep these countries in prayer. Lord, deliver them from this pain, and be King over all.
Father you are King over the floods, I will be still, and know you are God.
