Francis Kong is one of my favorite motivational and inspirational speakers. He never fails to amaze me each time he stands on a stage and delivers a flawless presentation. I chanced upon what he had to say about Ondoy and it’s very applicable to Pepeng. It’s full of wisdom and I think it hits home. I think we should all follow his advice since there’s only so much we can do once we’ve secured our house and our stuff. I’m a strong believer in the power of prayer and I’d like to reach out to all of my readers so that you’ll all join me in praying for our country especially now that Pepeng is just a few hours away from making landfall. We’ll need protection, healing, and wisdom in the days ahead. Let me just share what Francis said:
The flood waters have not yet subsided and a stronger storm is headed our way. In times like these, when logic and reason do not work, prayer does! Speakers like me can encourage people to stay strong in the midst of the storm. Scientists can provide helpful info on how to act during a storm but only Jesus can still the storm.
Take a moment anytime today and offer a prayer for yourself, for your family, for your friends, for your co-workers, for your enemies, and for the country. And I’m not just talking about Ondoy or Pepeng. Pray for our future. We will need a lot of grace to be able to rise up again.
From Mark 4:35-41:
Leaving the huge crowd of people behind Jesus told the disciples to go to the other side of the lake. Then Jesus got in the boat and the disciples followed him.
All of a sudden a huge storm came on the lake and the waves were so big they came in the boat. The disciples were really afraid and thought they were going to drown. They quickly woke up Jesus saying “Save us we are going to drown, don’t you care” Jesus stood up and rebuked the wind and said to the waves be still. Everything was completely still. Then Jesus told the disciples “Are you still afraid, have you no faith” The disciples were amazed. They said “Who is this? “ The wind and the waves obey Him.
And lastly from Hebrews 13:5
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
Be safe everyone.
