When the World is Falling Apart...

I woke up this morning, a beautiful Sunday morning, only to see that the devastation and destruction across the United States, and world, continues. There are now terrible wildfires in Arizona (Let’s pray for these people). I find a pattern with all of these disasters…it’s always “The worst one ever” or in years…  What is going on in our world?
It’s almost as if an alarm is going off in my spirit, telling me to be ready and prepared…Jesus could be coming soon.
The news automatically pops up on my computer screen, so I can’t escape seeing these horrific events. But it is good because it continues to make me more and more thankful every day that I have been kept safe. It also reminds me that I am not immune to something like that happening to me. This is why I truly view each and every day as a gift – and constantly try to live and surround myself in a habit of thankfulness to God for how good He is. Even if, and when, the storms come – He is still God. He hasn’t left His throne. He is still in control.
I’m sure you are all aware of the man whose recent end-of-the-world prediction failed. People killed themselves because of that prediction. A mother slit her two children’s throats, along with her own. What a sad, sad shame.  God says “My people perish for lack of knowledge”…we need to know the Bible! Matthew 24:36 says that NO ONE knows the day or the hour of Christ’s return.  No one can predict the end of the world – only God knows – but, there are signs of the times that are the “birth pains” (warning signs) of his return. My advice is to be ready at all times!
Some of the signs of Christ’s return are:
“There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.” (Luke 21:11)
So we are to:
"But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man." (ESV)
Despite the horrors happening in the world – we can have joy, peace and satisfaction in God. As children of God we don’t need to worry because we are only headed towards something greater. Even if our earthly lives are taken away from us, we have a heavenly Kingdom that is our home that will stand forever.
God bless you guys!  Stay alert and be ready!
