Faith Shaken
Two successive magnitude 6 in less than 24 hours had struck the country once called Ophir in the Bible, currently named the Philippine Islands. Videos and pictures of destruction and, death and injury are flashing on the television, social media websites and newspapers. Tales of suffering are being fed to us where ever is the source.
Our faith in our creator is once again put to the test, shaken but not somehow diminished.
Yet in 1 Peter 1:7 "These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world."
God's plan of salvation is still working in our times. We must remain strong and steadfast in faith despite all what is happening in our lives. We must continue to finish the race like St. Paul said in his 2nd letter to Timothy 4:7 "I have fought a good fight. I have finished the race. And I remained faithful."
Though we walk in the valley of the shadow of death, we should trust God. And He will never forsake us. He is always here to help us in our suffering. He knows what we are going through and He knows our needs. Maybe He is teaching us something, a lesson that we must learn. Share whatever we have to those victims of calamities, even our prayers.
God reigns, love should reign in our hearts despite of everything.
