Earthquake of your life...

As of now, I think everyone knows that few hours ago Japan had a 8.9 magnitude earthquake and tsunami as well...

Immediately, I just can't help but think of Isaiah 40:6-8. Here it goes:
6 A voice says, “Cry!”
And I said, “What shall I cry?”
All flesh is grass,
and all its beauty is like the flower of the field.
7 The grass withers, the flower fades
when the breath of the Lord blows on it;
surely the people are grass.
8 The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will stand forever.

And guess what... These 3 verses comes right after God comforts His own people because they have no perfect king to lead them... And these 3 verses gives an even greater comfort by saying the only person you should trust is God because He knows what He is doing and His Word stands forever!!!

But something that I learnt from camp came back to me again, which is to hold everything loosely... Well, I guess the earthquake pretty much explains why you should hold them loosely... It's because it won't last, and the only thing that can last is the Word of God!!! If you hold on to those things, try imagining what will happen to you when an 'earthquake' shatters all of them...

Let's say you're very proud of every single thing you do... What happens when something you did fails??? Will you still be proud of yourself??? So, consider what to hold on and what not to hold on, for it might be disastrous when it happens...

May God open up your heart to let you seek Him...
