Entering the fourth month of this year, to be precise April 5, 2021, we are shocked by the sad news that has been caused by the natural disaster that has befallen our brothers and sisters in NTT and its surroundings. Not to mention that we are still worried about the many victims who died due to the Covid-19 virus pandemic, and now we also have to be shocked again with sad news about the natural disasters that have befallen our brothers in NTT and its surroundings. However, this is not the end of everything, we as the Indonesian nation that are united by Pancasila, must pay attention as quickly as possible by sending donations, both donations and groceries
BNPB also recorded material losses caused by extreme weather in NTT, including 1,962 housing units affected, 119 severely damaged housing units (RB), 118 moderately damaged housing units (RS) and 34 lightly damaged housing units (RR), while public facilities ( fasum) 14 units of RB, 1 RR and 84 other units were affected. [1] This should be the concern of all Indonesians, both those who live in cities and those who live in villages. And this should also be a reflection for all of us, why should such a great disaster befall our nation? And why does it have to be NTT? Or maybe it happened because of our sin against God?
As Christians, we must first believe that everything that happens in this life, happens on the sovereign authority of God. It is true that we are sinful humans, but that is not the main reason God allows natural disasters to come. Indeed, on the one hand, we may ask why it happened? However, on the other hand we also have to realize that God has a purpose and a plan for it all, and what is certain is that all of it is for His glory (Romans 11:36), but that does not mean God is happy to see humans suffer. In this case, we must believe and believe that through the suffering we experience God will also be glorified, because Jesus Himself also suffered for us by dying as a ransom for our sins. Let us pray together for all of our brothers and sisters who have been affected by natural disasters in NTT and its surroundings. That's all, Lord Jesus Bless.
