Genesis c.1

In the beginning God…

One of the reasons why humanity is far away from God is because they are far from God’s wonderful creations. People especially those in the city are more inclined to worship the wonders of technology, the works of man hence God is treated as something that is there but not really there.

It’s the sense of awe, wonder and majesty that is missing.

I remember the picture of the Ormoc City disaster. The landslide buried hundreds of people and piles of bloated bodies were piled upon top of another and pushed by bulldozers to a common grave because to delay burying would lead to disease outbreaks. There were no time to identify the bodies; they were lumped together like dirt. People were praying; candles were lighted; prayer vigils were conducted; God is worshipped and called upon for mercy and strength and provisions and justice.

God is suddenly remembered.
