"Not one of all the Lord's good promises to the house of Israel failed; every one was fulfilled"
Joshua 21:45 (NIV)
The past couple of days, the country has been hit by a super typhoon called Juan and it just left today. Plenty of families and provinces have been devastated. Although for most of us here in Manila, the only thing Juan ruined for us is our plans and it's really not a big deal. But for the people who were directly hit by the typhoon, it cost them their homes, their livelihoods and some their lives.
Having typhoon's is nothing new for our country. But somehow, it always hits us hard when a super typhoon comes. I guess it shows how despite being in the typhoon belt since forever, the country's still not prepared for most of the calamities that come its way.
I don't want to say I'm not troubled by this because those who are living in the city are not directly affected. But it's because I know that God will pull everyone in Isabela, Pangasinan, Benguet, etc though. He has never failed us and the passage is just really timely as an encouragement for everyone. I know that God won't leave and forget about us. I just wish that people won't forget about it just because they're experiencing tough times now.
