1 MORE TALK EDITION 12 26 APRIL 2019 Thomas More College [email protected] www.thomasmore.co.za GENERAL INFORMATION WEEKLY SCRIPTURE SWEPT AWAY It’s the early hours of Easter Monday morning (01:36 to be precise) and I am awakened from my much-needed beauty sleep by an unusual sound! Has the dog jumped into the pool? Alarmed by this confusing thought I groggily sprint all of four meters, tear back the curtains and stare at the body of still water. No dog. But…the sound continues. It is an unusual sound to be sure. Ears now awake, I make my way to the opposite window and stare out. There in the dark, broom in hand is my dear wife! She’s ankle deep in water chasing the rain’s downpour towards the now unblocked drain. Satisfied, I returned to bed …ha, ha – just kidding. Whilst supporting my wife’s endeavours (at that very hour) I got to thinking how Noah’s generation must have felt struggling to hold back the unstoppable rising waters of God’s radical purging. No number of brooms would succeed as the sovereign God metered out Hi s end to an evil world. Social media pinged relentlessly regarding this weekend’s devastation; highlighting again and again all that was being swept away. Despite mankind’s natural tendencies God is merciful, and He makes a promise when the waters receded that man and animal would never endure a flood of that magnitude again. With the recent reminder of our heavy rainfalls, may we all humbly acknowledge and recognise His divinity and authority over all. Genesis 9 vs 15 “...and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.” We hope that you and your loved ones enjoyed a memorable holiday, and trust for a good start to the new term.
