What is Going On in the World?

In recent weeks, the world has been experiencing an unusual amount of rainfall causing flash floods in major cities, washing away people, cars, bridges and buildings. At the same time, other parts of the world are threatened by spreading wildfires that destroy homes and everything in its path. If that is not enough, there are also many earthquakes in various quake prone areas.

In sunny Singapore there are no floods, wildfires or earthquakes. Our only major news was a Landslide win for Tharman (Shanmugaratnam) in the presidential election.

We thank God for His protection over Singapore.

Psalm 46

1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, 3 though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.

4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.

5 God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.

6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

7 The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

8 Come and see what the LORD has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth.

9 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire.

10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
