Let's be Praying
Earthquakes, hurricanes, fires, droughts, famine, mudslides, floods......
Sin, darkness, Christians persecuted, sickness, lies.....
The list goes on. We live in a dark, broken world.
It reminds me of in the garden of Eden when sin first entered the world, mankind's relationship with God was broken. But God sent His Son Jesus to die on a cross to heal that relationship.
1 Timothy 2:5-6, "For there is one God and one mediator between God and humanity,
Christ Jesus, Himself human, who gave Himself—a ransom for all, a testimony at the proper time."
As I was reminded recently (http://paigespages4thelord.blogspot.com/) then Jesus could come back at anytime. And when that time comes then Jesus will heal our broken world.
But for the time being then we still live in a broken world. What are we going to do about it? We need to share the gospel.
Another thing is to pray. Let's all be praying. Praying for those effected by hurricane Harvey in Texas, those who have been and will be effected by hurricane Irma. Praying for those who have been caught up in fires, droughts, earthquakes, mudslides, floods... let's be praying. Not only for our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ around the globe, but to be praying that God would draw the nations to Himself.
And even in dark times never forget that God is good, no matter what. Sometimes all we can do is trust Him and pray.
Matthew 9:38, "Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”
Matthew 18:19, "Again, I assure you: If two of you on earth agree about any matter that you pray for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven."
Acts 1:14, "All these were continually united in prayer,"
Let's be united through praying. Be praying.
So true!

DeleteDoesn't it say that creation has been subject to frustration and that it has been groaning in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time? But I think this is all the more true as we see the Day approaching.
ReplyDeleteIn any case, thanks for the reminder to be praying! I don't think there's ever a time when it's not needed.
Very true. And we should always be praying... I think sometimes when something bad happens it's a wake up call... but we need to remember to always be praying.
