January 2010…Earthquake…Haiti…Hope

As Wyclef Jean said, “Haiti doesn’t need another photo Op”, yet as a photographer, the photo speaks volumes! I have watched the devastation, the victories of survival, the idiotic statements of the religious leaders and yet…they still Praised the LORD!
At first, I was going to Revelation to see…What’s up and the message to learn from this and then GOD made be do a U Turn to JOB. Surely these are decendents of JOB. In case you don’t know or forgot, when JOB’s possessions, family and everything around him was gone…even the closest to him, (his wife), told him to curse GOD and die…surely you must have done something…yet JOB still Praised the LORD!
It wasn’t until Job listened to his Boys’, that he finally gave in and cursed GOD! Interesting…he didn’t listen to the one closest to him…but his boys. When GOD stepped in…you know what happened… if not READ the STORY!
Our Haitian brothers and sisters…like JOB… are very serious about their relationship with GOD. They are disciplined, they are focused and they will remain blessed! You don’t have to accommodate worship to bring them to the LORD’s House, you don’t have to beg them to come to Church School to learn more about that relationship, you don’t have to tell them about giving the tithes.. in fact most of the Haitians I know here in America, give and then send most of their earnings back to Haiti to support their families!! Imagine, if we were that disciplined?
Authentic Praise is a very powerful thing! The story of JOB ends as will the Haitians…. So Yahweh (GOD) gave JOB twice as much as he had before. Yahweh (GOD) blessed the latter end of JOB more than his beginning
Support the Haitian effort and listen closely…watch how they will rise even more powerful and wonderfully blessed!
World…are you catching this lesson… from Yahweh?
Be Blessed!
