It
is so very hard to comprehend what others are going through because all
situations are different. But I can faintly hear, in the distance, the cries of
the children and parents who have seen their homes destroyed. The ones who lost
every single thing they owned. Some have lost family members but many lives
have been spared in all these catastrophic events. It is amazing to me to see
the devastation and how people survived. Through these events, many have learned
what is really important to them, "their lives and the lives of family and
neighbors."
I
heard of a two-year-old comforting his Mother during the loss of everything in
the California fires. He said, "It will be okay." I have heard our
grand's say so many times, "I'm okay," so I understand how precious
those words were to that Mom.
The
daughter-in-law, while cleaning from the floods in Texas, found the family
Bible opened to Solomon's Song 8:7.
"Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it:
if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly
be contemned," (meaning is scorned). When shown this the elderly woman
said, "Isn't the Lord amazing. He always gives us exactly what we need,
when we need it. Praise the Lord."
Just
because you and I are not in the middle of the raging fires, severe storms,
floods, calamity, or the horror of mass killings, does not mean it cannot come
near to where we are and to our neighborhood. We are not exempt from what is
coming on this earth in these Last Days. Daniel speaks of "it shall be for
the time appointed." When will it come to us? We do not know. God help us
to be mindful of our relationship with Him and ready to meet Him if something
happens. It is most important, to love God and others. We need to pray for
those suffering. Pray for their understanding of God and who He is. Pray they
will cry out to Him during these uncertain days. Pray for those who do not have
a personal relationship with Christ, that they will seek Him and find Him.
The
Lord is near to the brokenhearted. He calls them to come to Him to allow Him
to comfort, strengthen, and renew their HOPE, to show them what He requires. If
they will be willing and obedient they too can be like the woman in Texas
saying, "Isn't the Lord amazing? He always gives us exactly what we need
when we need it. Praise the Lord."
