Message
On June 23, 2018, a Thai soccer team of 12 boys had just finishing their weekly soccer practice and decided to go on a little adventure with their coach. The boys planned to head into a cave and write their names on the wall. Unfortunately for the boys and their coach, heavy rains started falling after they entered the cave and flood water rose high enough to block the entrance and trap them inside. It took the combined efforts of an international team of cave experts, military personnel, and volunteers (10,000 people in all) and 18 days of relentless search and rescue operations, to bring the boys and their coach back to safety. Today is International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction.
God has promised his protection and preservation for the righteous. And should he fall into mischief and into the trap of the adversary, the Lord is ready to deploy all the resources of heaven and earth for his rescue. He will leave no stone unturned to bring the righteous back to safety. Hold to God’s powerful hands. There is nothing to worry about.
