We are indeed living in times when we see many signs that the Bible speaks about. Jesus, in Matthew 24:7, warned us that "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places." Seeing earthquakes in diverse places can indeed be a reminder that we are to be watchful and ready for His return.
Let us pray together and be reminded of His words:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, humbled by the signs of the times that we see around us. We remember Your words through Your son Jesus, that there will be earthquakes in diverse places as a sign of the end. Father, we ask for Your mercy and protection over us, our families, and our communities. Help us not to be fearful, but to be watchful and ready for the return of Your son, Jesus Christ.
Father, we also pray for those affected by these earthquakes. Comfort them, provide for their needs, and help them to rebuild their lives. We pray that they would come to know the saving grace of Your Son, Jesus Christ, and You will turn evil into good.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
While we see these signs, it is crucial to remember what Jesus said in Matthew 24:42-44, "Watch therefore, for you don't know in what hour your Lord comes. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don't expect, the Son of Man will come."
Let us be watchful, ready, and faithful in our service to the Lord. Let us also share the good news of Jesus Christ with others, so that they too may be ready for His return. If you have not believed in Jesus Christ, today is the day of salvation. Believe in Jesus Christ and you will be saved. As it says in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
