Under: Floods
Relaxing Buddha idol amid chaos.
Washington Post (excerpts): Bangkok - Defenses shielding the center of Thailand's capital from the nation's worst floods in nearly 60 years mostly held at critical peak tides Saturday, as the waters began to recede after killing almost 400 people; but the threat to Bangkok was not over, the Prime Minister said, and the city's northern districts remained submerged along with much of the countryside. Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra urged citizens to let the crisis run its course, as the flood waters slowly drain to the sea, with Bangkok lying in their path. The floods that have besieged central Thailand for weeks submerged entire towns across the country's heartland and shuttered hundreds of factories over the last two months.
Commentary: Unfortunately, Buddha doesn't see or hear the prayers of the people of Thailand, because he is just a hand-made idol, who can neither see or hear. If they would pray to the one and only true and living God, their creator, I am sure He would answer. "The rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, idols of gold, silver, brass, stone and wood, which neither can see, hear or walk" Revelation 9:20.
