Whispers from Heaven

I don't understand why the the poorest nation in the Western hemisphere was left powerless as the ground shook. I don't understand why those who already struggled to stand were knocked into the dirt again. I don't understand why hundreds of thousands of people had to be crushed, or why millions are left to mourn for the loved ones that lie beneath the dust and rubble, while more millions sleep under sheets at the feet of their neighbours. I don't understand why a country with so little dignity has been stripped as they are forced to bare everything to bathe on the sides of the streets. I don't understand why parents cannot keep their children, or the love it takes to give a child up for a better life with someone else. I don't understand the struggle to go days without food. I don't understand why such a beautiful people must endure these things.

But I found this verse, and I can't even begin to explain how cool this is to me.

1 Kings 19:11-12
The LORD said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by. Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.

Haiti endured a 7.0 earthquake, countless more aftershocks, and now it endures the rains. But God has come upon Haiti in a gentle whisper.

There are so many things I don't understand. But I saw God using the earthquake. I saw the most resilient nation stand up, brush themselves off, let the tears slide down their face, raise their hands, and open their mouths to praise the King of Kings, the God of their country, and the Savior of their hearts.
God whispers to them. He whispers of comfort, and hope, and peace, and love, and strength, and of His glory. And He is with those beautiful Haitians as they cry, and as they sleep under sheets, and as they wonder where their next meal will come from.
He whispers.

Isaiah 54;10
Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you
