Rafieya Husain Has Raised Guyana Up In Miss World 2014 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Noel Moses. December 14, 2014 Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praise. (James 5:13 ASV). The closing song by the Miss World 2014 Pageant on Sunday, December 14, 2014 was surprisingly and simply uplifting to me. You Raised Me Up When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary, When troubles come and my heart burdened be, Then, I am still and wait here in the silence, Until you come and sit awhile with me. The song was done in call and response as we say in church where each of the top 5 Miss World Pageant rotated the verses. The entire pageant joined in a moving choreography as the sang chorus: You raised me up so I can stand on mountains, You raised me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raised me up...To more than I can be. As the movement against police brutality gains traction around the world. There are the challenges of prorogation, dictatorship and Guyana being cited as the most corrupted country in the English Speaking Caribbean 124/ 175 countries and territories with a rating of 30 out of 100(0) highly corrupt and (100) very clean. All of us stand on the shoulders of those who came before us and so the song was so truly fitting to raise us individually and as a nation to stand on the mountains of hope, to walk on the stormy seas of racism and police brutality, to be raised up to be more than you think you can be. James asked the rhetorical question, Is any among you suffering? We all are! Fervent prayer achieves much and when mixed with faith, small as a mustard seed you can move mountains. As all Guyana is cheerful because of Rafieya Husain, 10 placed in Miss World 2014 pageant. She has raised us up at a time when most of us are down, oh our soul is weary, when troubles come and our hearts are burdened, let us still wait in silence and see the workings of our Lord. Let us sing his praise!
