We hear and read of tsunamis and earthquakes. They leave everything in their trail destroyed, demolished and devastated. No power seems to have the strength to resist them. This is just what happens to us if we render the Lord mere lip service. The sign of our real love for and commitment to the Lord are not empty words – even a parrot can do that, and perhaps better than us. Our commitment to the Lord is tested by our readiness to listen to his words and to act and live according to them. Then come what may, we are going to stand strong because we have made the Lord and his word the foundation of our lives. No disaster will ever be able to cause us any harm.
