God’s
faithfulness
In
Tacloban, a particular church building withstood the rushing water and 200 mph
winds. This church became a refuge not just for survivors but for rescuers and
relief operators and volunteers. One member of the fellowship gathering in this
church narrated how amazingly his wooden house remained standing as he watched
from his window the buildings being flattened by the wind and rushing water.
Having his family and house saved from the typhoon gave him privilege to serve
those who are serving his hometown by driving volunteers to where they are
needed on his motorbike, which also was amazingly saved without a scratch after
a coconut tree fell on it.
Amidst
the losses, there is hope. In the town of Tanauan, an elderly man’s wish is to
have a Bible. His Bible was washed out together with all of his other
belongings the rushing water. He said he was afraid, but the incoming huge
waves brought him courage: “I was amazed. I saw the power of God as the
towering waves were coming in. Courage overcame my fears and made me praise and
give thanks to God. We are now rebuilding our house from whatever debris left.
I want to continue reading and memorizing God’s written Word. I believe the
time is nearing when we need to have the Word of God in our hearts where no
storm can get rid of.”
