This morning I read an article in the Scientific American magazine titled, “Natural Disasters-A Running List of Record Breaking Natural Disasters in 2020.” 2020 has been disastrous in so many ways that it really shouldn’t surprise any of us that many natural disasters were record breaking. This particular article was referring the the USA but that’s not to say other countries haven’t suffered the increase. In the last 24 hours alone, world wide there were 1 quake of magnitude 6.1, 4 quakes between 5.0 and 6.0, 19 quakes between 4.0 and 5.0, 77 quakes between 3.0 and 4.0, and 183 quakes between 2.0 and 3.0. There were also 481 quakes below magnitude 2.0 which people don’t normally feel. (https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/earthquakes.html) The world is groaning in birth pains just as the Bible told us it would.

And He said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore do not go after them. But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately.” The He said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be great earthquakes in various places and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. “Luke 21:8-11

Much of this sounds quite familiar doesn’t it? The earth as we know it, is ramping up for our soon coming King, Jesus Christ. We don’t need to be afraid, we need to keep our hearts and lives under His shadow through prayer and abiding in Christ. Jesus warned us, “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighted down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” Luke 21:34-36

So today and each day leading up to His appearance, pray always. Stay close to the Savior. Do whatever it is He has put on your heart to do for Him and do it with joy each day.

If you have not asked Jesus Christ into your life, it is not too late to do so. You will not want to be left behind when He soon appears to take His church back to Heaven with Him. If’ you’d like to pray the prayer of salvation please do so along with me..

Father God: I come to you today knowing that I am a sinner. I have lived my life apart from fellowship with You. I want to become Your child today. I am asking you to forgive me of my sins and I know that this can only be done through the precious shed blood of Your Son Jesus Christ. I ask today that Jesus Christ would come into my life and cleanse me. I ask that He would create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me. I no longer want to live a life outside of Your will for me. From this day on, please guide me and lead me. I desperately need You. Thank you for welcoming me into Your family. In Jesus name, Amen

If you prayed that prayer please get yourself a Bible. The Bible is God’s love letter to us. His Word is invaluable in our lives and will teach us and guide us in how to live a life that is pleasing to Him. Also try and find yourself a Christian Bible teaching church. You will need fellowship with other Christian believers. We are not designed to walk alone. If you would like any recommendations on good Bible teachers that are online please let me know and I will be happy to direct you to teachers that teach the truth. There are many sheep in wolves clothing that you will want to avoid. Welcome to the family of God!

Blessings!
