God in the midst of tribulation

SUMMARY: The speaker reflects on the recent disaster in Haiti and the realization that there are events of nature that we cannot control. He turns to Ephesians 3:14-21, where Paul acknowledges the power of God and prays for the church in Ephesus to be strengthened with power in their inner being. The speaker emphasizes that this power is not just for the sake of strength but to help us understand the love of God, which is beyond measure. He reminds us that God can do more than what we can ask or understand, and that God can work through us to bless others. Ultimately, we are empowered by God's spirit to face the challenges of life and to do more than we could on our own.
The speaker is encouraging the audience to be proactive and to let God work through them in small ways that may seem insignificant, but can lead to something greater. They pray for God to fill them with power and for them to live to the fullness of what Christ is. The speaker concludes by asking God to bless and keep the audience and to give them his peace.

Ephesians, chapter 3, verse 14, I begin reading there, the word of the Lord says: “….For this reason I bow my knees before the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named so that grant them according to the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power in the inner man or woman by their spirit, so that Christ may dwell in their hearts through faith, so that, rooted and grounded in love, they may be fully capable of comprehending with all saints what is the breadth, the length, the depth and the height of the love of Christ, which surpasses all knowledge, so that they may be filled with all the fullness of God…”
Let me leave it there. You know, while I was meditating today during the different activities that I was doing today, obviously I couldn't stop thinking about all this, what happened there in Haiti. And obviously they are natural disasters that nobody can prevent. The life of nature has its course. A few months ago, the 5-year anniversary of this tsunami that hit all these islands there in the Thailand area was celebrated and I remember that I saw a special documentary that was made on the Discovery Channel, they made a documentary about this and They showed how some video scenes were taken by the same victims who were there but they were videos that could not be found and have not come to light until now and the images that I saw, I said to myself, wow, the truth is that this is incredible, when nature gets out of its course there is no one to stop it.
