We have all seen and heard the woes that befell Japan. It is frightening indeed. This is beyond human comprehension. The 8.9 magnitude earthquake also unleashed a tsunami that left a trail of destruction in its wake. My prayers and thoughts go out to all the people of Japan at this time.
Meanwhile, CNN last night reported that the earthquake was so strong it moved the main island of Japan by 2.4m and shifted the Earth on its axis. Reports from Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology estimated the quake shifted the planet on its axis by nearly 10cm.
Inspite of all this hopelesness and gloom ,God remains God and has not lost control.Solomon acknowledged the Kingship of God when he wrote in the book of Ecclesiastes the following and I quote "When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other.....".
I hope that the people of Japan will get comfort knowing that the world is behind them. Given the resilience and reputation of being a hardworking nation, Japan will rise from the ashes.
