Praying for people in Florida tonight and it got me thinking…
I’ve only experienced ~300KPH wind on a motorbike designed to cut through the wind and it is *still* a sobering experience. Needing to cling on with all your strength, facing a storm with a wall of this kind of destructive force is *not* something you would want to do.
Hurricane Milton approaching Florida at the moment has so much ammunition in the form of debris (from Hurricane Helene last week), it is hard to comprehend.
Thankfully, people currently in Florida have a number of things counting *for* them… the have:
– fore-warning that the hurricane is approaching
– previous experience of the damage hurricanes can do
– fore-knowledge of what they can do to be safe
– people directing them to safety
– people willing to help for free
You would think with these things in place, most would be safe, very little injury or life lost. It would be easy to conclude that anyone injured or killed after all these warnings deserves no compassion.
What about you?
Have you been warned of impending disaster?
Have you understood that there has to be a Creator?
Have you known that your actions don’t line up with your own version of right / wrong (let alone the Creators standard)?
Are there people in your life that have told you, pleaded with you that you need to trust Jesus? My guess is yes.
There are people willing to help *for free*.
As you see people prepare for disaster, I pray that you would think of the *far* greater danger approaching:
Judgement Day…
A day where each one of us will face the Creator with every single sin we have ever committed. Every thought, every word, every deed. Lying, Stealing, Lust, Hatred, Greed, ignoring God, living for self…they all leave us condemned, deserving of God’s wrath.
And God’s wrath is *far* worse than 300KPH winds.
God is a ‘Devouring Fire’ – not to be messed with. Unlike a hurricane, He is Unsurvivable. There is no escape.
You. Need. Jesus.
Jesus – *not* religion – is the only Way to life.
Please prepare for your eternity. One day, your body will stop living. Your soul will not. At that time it will be too late.
#TrustJesus #today
Even though your life may get harder, even though the journey may seem to suck at times, the rewards will be eternal. #eternity
