Luke 21:11 - "There will be powerful earthquakes, famines and plagues from place to place; and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, the signs are here.
Strong typhoons, the ISIS war, global warming, earthquakes happening all around the world. Yes the signs are here.
Jesus has foretold about this during His time. But, His revelations was not to strike fear in our hearts. His revelations is to make us prepared, for even Him does not know when the end will come.
Still, the world is generally peaceful and stable. When waking up in the morning, most of the time, if not always, you would see the same things at exactly the same place where you left them before sleeping the previous night.
Until that thing we fear happens.
And in the midst of devastation and helplessness, we can do nothing more than cast weak, sympathetic glances at each other.
And we are overlooking the greatest strength of all: COMPLETE TRUST IN GOD.
When that bad things happen, that is reality we cannot escape. But when we set aside complaining and start placing ourselves in God's protection and voice out our pain and suffering openly to God in prayer - that is, when you really trust in God as your mighty protector an strength.
+ Let us pray: Almighty Father, You have not given us signs but love. We will not give you doubt but faith. You have brought about our conversion through the power of faith in Your Word, and the evidence of Your love in Jesus Christ, our Savior. Let Your indwelling Spirit sustain our hope so that we may not be discouraged like the prophet Jonah, or be unfaithful like King Solomon in spite of his wisdom. Only by Your grace can we persevere. Amen +
