TYPHOON SCARE

At 3am yesterday, I was awakened in my 2hour sleep by the sounds of the howling wind, screeching tree limbs as it sways almost 180 degrees, flapping metals from nearby houses (not sure if it’s their roofs or water spouts) and my dad’s mutterings. It is indeed fear-provoking to hear such disturbing complaints brought about by this typhoon Santi, which is actually said to be passing by our very side of the country. As I lay down listening to the chaos outside, there is no other thing I do right away but pray. Pray that it will be over soon and that our family be kept safe.

The electricity started fluctuating, and I know it will be soon cut-off. Thoughts to those others that may not be having a house as sturdy as ours and even those that are in the far flung areas poor enough to have only cartons of boxes to sleep on to lessen the chill of the pavement as they sleep.

And as always these days, it reminded me of that bone-chilling Day of Judgment. This is just rain and wind that makes us fretful, what of fire shooting down from the sky? My thought traveled from that line that had me calling on to Him once again. Fear shunned away as this sudden thought was born in my mind, this story of Jesus and His apostles at sea and storm struck. That when they anxiously awaken Jesus from His slumber because their boat is wildly tossing away, He told them not to be afraid because He is with them. That they should not lose their faith. THIS OUTRIGHTLY pacify my nerves telling myself, “yeah, what’s this fuss all about anyway?!”

See how God does miracle even in such ordinary day? We may not be aware of it all the time, but He answers to your calling RIGHT AWAY if He knows you are a faithful servant ;)
