one month on.....




A country so improverished, most people live on less than $1.00 a day.
A country that has a history of violence
A country where 80 % of the population are unemployed.
A country where less than 20 % of the population over 15 years old can read and write.

This is Haiti.

One month on after the January 12 earthquake,it is hard to imagine that this country with widespread poverty could go through so much.
Over 200 000 people men,women and children dead. Thousands injured and many children orphaned.

It is great to be reminded that there is someone who does love each and every Haitian person. It is Jesus. They are all precious in his sight. It is great to be reminded that Jesus is the only one.

Psalm 47

For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.

1 Clap your hands, all you nations;
shout to God with cries of joy.
2 How awesome is the LORD Most High,
the great King over all the earth!

3 He subdued nations under us,
peoples under our feet.

4 He chose our inheritance for us,
the pride of Jacob, whom he loved.
Selah

5 God has ascended amid shouts of joy,
the LORD amid the sounding of trumpets.

6 Sing praises to God, sing praises;
sing praises to our King, sing praises.

7 For God is the King of all the earth;
sing to him a psalm [a] of praise.

8 God reigns over the nations;
God is seated on his holy throne.

9 The nobles of the nations assemble
as the people of the God of Abraham,
for the kings [b] of the earth belong to God;
he is greatly exalted.
