"Get out of our tents"


 
Food aid for tsunami victims is running out and the international community must keep the programme going to prevent "a disaster of immense proportions", Indonesia's tsunami reconstruction chief said on Friday. "There is a perception that the emergency conditions have passed because we're now in the reconstruction phase. This is wrong. The problems are so great, the humanitarian needs are so immense, that the emergency continues." Aceh will need food aid at least through 2006 to prevent malnutrition and related diseases. The WFP is feeding around a half-million people in Aceh, including nearly 100,000 still living in tattered tents. With the annual monsoon approaching, it is imperative to get people out of tents.    Rueters: http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/JAK212794.htm

The last sentence struck me hard... "With the annual monsoon approaching, it is imperative to get people out of tents."
 
Is this not the greatest fear during Feast of Tabernacles?
 
That a storm would come and pople would be caught in their tents?
 
Well, the storms of life are upon the whole World, and only some of us yearn to
get out of our tents and by taken up into the House of the Lord.
 
May it happen soon,
 
Hallelu-YAH
