This morning seems like another one of those mornings where I have to begin the day with worries. I am worried, I worry about everything. I’m worried how I would spend the day productively since we are bombarded with pressure brought about by the school works that are waiting for us to be accomplished.
But as I paused for a while to read the bible, this particular phrase made me smile… “… Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.” Genesis 8:21. For some who are having a hard time digesting this, I hope this blog entry would help you chew on God’s word with fewer struggles.
For skeptics, what about the natural calamities happening nowadays? We keep on experiencing floods and heavy downpour. In addition to that, some parts of the world are shaken by earthquakes and drowned by tsunamis. But if you’d care to stop and ponder about this, isn’t it a hard fact that floods are recurring in our cities because of the clogged sewer system or the deforestation that has been long ongoing? Well, I hope you’ll get my point. The bottom line here is that God doesn’t have anything to do with the natural calamities because if we admit it to ourselves, it is still by our own hands that we make or break what the Earth is now including things it has to offer. So why blame it all on God? So to speak, I am guilty of engaging in the enduring habit of blaming others for the things that I am accountable for. It has been my defense mechanism and up to this point, I still have to wrestle with myself.
