Only God!

 

 

"Then there will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and there will be anguish on the earth among nations bewildered by the roaring sea and waves.”

Luke 21:25

The earthquake and tsunami in Japan have left the nations bewildered and in fear about what is happening to the earth. The pictures of the devastation are almost surreal. Surely we are looking at a computer generated simulation of an event that has never happened. But it has. And what comes next may be even more frightening.

The politicians are saying all the right things about how strong the Japanese are and how they will recover from the destruction. Calls are going out for the rest of the world to send aid, but what comes next?

I would ask you this: If God is speaking and we don't answer Him, but choose to ignore the Almighty and simply work on cleaning up the mess, then what will happen? If you have any faith in God then you cannot pretend that God was caught unaware when the 9.1 earthquake hit Japan. He either knew about it and didn't stop it, or He was the cause of the shaking.

I would simply ask this: Are you impressed with the power of God yet? Are you still comfortable ignoring a God who can shake the earth and cause the ocean to wash over the land? Or should you ask God this simple question: "God, what do you want from me?"
