the solid rock

In the light of the recent events that hit Japan, I am reminded of being a Christian.  I’d like to share this tweet from Gary V. that I’ve read a while ago... I was moved by it. 
"Tweeps...note the frequency of natural and man made events. There's more that's gone on in the last 20yrs than in the last 50..."

"all these were already foretold, and all these events can be traced to the only word that never changes...HIS."

“⁶ 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. ⁷ Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.  There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. ⁸ All these are the beginning of birth pains.”  Matthew 24:6-8
The "birth pains" have now become quite frequent, and we know that with more birth pains at shorter intervals, the inevitable isn't far off.
It is not meant to threaten anyone but to encourage everyone that while there still is time...make that decision and move to safe ground.

"Safety is not in the absence of danger but being in the presence of the Almighty God." - Ptr Ray-An Fuentes."

I also would like to share this Hymn of Grace that I always sing whenever these kinds of situations are happening.

A Hymn of Grace

THE SOLID ROCK

  Keith W. Ward

 My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

 

Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
