God is still Faithful

Jakarta got hit by another bomb at JW Marriot hotel. It strucked all of us a lot! The whole city grief in despair, maybe jyst wonderin' where is this country gonna go. It looks like there's no more hope left. People are desperate.

They shouldnt look and focus their thought on what the world brings, but they ought to focus on God's Words only. It's the only assurance that there is till now.

Suddenly I remembered this verse:
"You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains." [Matthew 24: 6 -8]

These things must happened to show us that this world is going to its end. And the time is wont be that long. Jesus is coming, and He's coming so fast.

Dear God, whatever happens around us, I will always remember and focusing my heart, my mind, and my soul only to Your Word. For its the only save and peaceful thing among this terrrored era.

I believe that terror and fear will not come near my dwelling, just like what the Prophet Isaiah had said..
"In righteousness you will be established:
Tyranny will be far from you;
you will have nothing to fear.
Terror will be far removed;
it will not come near you.
If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing;
whoever attacks you will surrender to you. " [Isaiah 54:14]


Praise be to God!!

We honor the ones who is leaving us on Marriott Bombing, Jakarta August 5th, 2003
