Stick to the Faithfulness of God

Bible readings for the day: Genesis 8-9

Although the destruction of nature have been made everywhere there natural disasters, including floods, we can believe that there will be no flood as big as in the days of Noah's flood covering the whole earth, because God is faithful to his promise.

The tsunami that ravaged Aceh has made many people wonder whether the flood that occurred in the days of Noah will be repeated again. The word "tsunami" comes from Japanese, "tsu" which means "harbor" and "nami" which means "wave". The tsunami was coming events of high sea waves suddenly and very quickly to the coastal area some time after an earthquake, volcanic eruption, or landslide on the ocean floor.

In addition because of the tsunami, flooding can also be caused by high rainfall in the catchment area the water is reduced, either due to deforestation and uncontrolled because of changes in land designation, for example, from water catchment areas turned into a settlement. Another factor that makes the flood continued to occur is the global warming that makes many icebergs melt and sea levels rise. At present, the flood is one of the main dangers which threaten human life.

In these situations, if we still can trust God's promise that will not happen again as the great flood occurred in the days of Noah (9:11)? Yes, we can be confident that God would keep His promises. Earth is approaching destruction (2 Peter 3:10) and the flood would still be happening, but the flooding that occurs will not cover the whole earth as the days of Noah! [P]

Numbers 23:19
"God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?"
