Lately, it feels like everywhere we look, the world is shaking.
Floods. Earthquakes. Powerful storms. Sinkholes. Wildfires. So much destruction, and so many lives affected.
Some may say these are simply natural phenomena, climate change, or events that science can explain. And yes, there may be natural explanations for many things happening around us. But for those of us who have been reading the Scriptures, these things also remind us of what Jesus warned us about.. the world will experience troubles, and we are called to stay awake and be ready.
This is not the time for us to live in fear.
And this is also not the time to spend all our energy blaming, cursing, and hating people whether they are leaders, governments, or anyone else we believe is responsible for what is happening around us. God is still sovereign. Nothing takes Him by surprise.
What should we do?
Repent.
Turn back to God.
Pray.
Love one another.
Forgive.
Stay faithful.
The Kingdom of God is near, and Jesus is coming.
We don't know the exact day or hour. And honestly, we don't even know what will happen tomorrow. None of us are promised another day.
So let us live as if today could be our last.. not in fear, but with our hearts ready before God.
While we are still breathing, while our hearts can still hear His voice, we still have a chance. We still have a chance to turn to God. We still have a chance to truly get to know Him.
To seek Him.
To walk with Him.
To talk to Him.
To read His Word and understand His heart.
To let Him heal us, change us, and lead us.
We can spend our whole lives chasing temporary things and assume that we will always have tomorrow. We say, “I'll come to God someday.” “I'll change someday.” “I'll take my relationship with Him seriously when the time is right.”
But what if someday never comes?
That is why today matters.
While we are busy scrolling through social media, watching videos of disasters, reading breaking news, and witnessing tragedy after tragedy, let us also pause and ask ourselves:
Am I ready to meet the Lord?
Are our hearts right with God?
Have we forgiven those who hurt us?
Have we truly surrendered our lives to Him?
Are we living for temporary things while forgetting about eternity?
Jesus told us about the ten virgins who waited for the Bridegroom. Some were prepared and had oil for their lamps. Others were not ready when the Bridegroom came.
Let us prepare our lamps. 🕯️
Let us keep the oil burning.. not just by knowing about God, but by truly knowing Him. By walking with Him, seeking Him, obeying Him, loving Him, and allowing His Word to change us.
And while there is still time, let us share His love with others.
Not to scare people.
Not to argue.
Not to prove that we are right.
But because we love them and we don't want anyone to miss the hope, mercy, forgiveness, and salvation that Jesus freely offers.
The world may be growing darker, but the Light is still here.
And His name is Jesus. 🤍
So if you have been far from Him, it's not too late.
If you've made mistakes, it's not too late.
If you feel unworthy, it's not too late.
If you think you've gone too far, it's not too late.
As long as we still have today, there is still an opportunity to turn to Him.
Come back to Him.
Get to know Him.
Walk with Him.
Love Him.
Because we may not know what tomorrow holds but we know the One who holds eternity.
“Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.”
Jesus is coming. Let us be ready.. not with fear in our hearts, but with faith, hope, love, and our lamps burning brightly. 🕯️🤍
