The Cooling Stream

Our lives have been molded by countless events. Some bring us joy, love, and harmony. Some edify and bring benefits to all. Still others correct and improve our lifestyles. There are also events that hurt and harm many; events that make us losing our friends and relatives every now and then.

The world is also full of events too. Tsunamis, earthquakes and flash floods have swept away millions of human life and all that they have. The global economic slowdown has made many lost their jobs and create many social and living problems.

After many generations of human civilization, many still live without food, clothing and shelters. Are we moving towards the end of the world?

"When the going gets tough, the tough get going." We brave ourselves to take the challenges of Year 2009. God only knows how we will fare this year.

My concern is for all of us to listen to the still small voice of God as it is proclaimed in the Bible (1Kings 19:12). Dwell on the Scriptures and we will find our answers.

Deep inside, I hold firmly to the fact that all things work together for good to those who love God (Romans 8:28). Come what may, I will still worship and enjoy God all the days of my life.

Welcome to the New Year 2009.
