“There will be signs in the sun, the moon and the stars and on earth. People will faint from fear and foreboding of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Luke 21:25-26

Heeding the Signs

We are surrounded by directional and warning signs designed to keep us safe and pointed in the right direction. We try to obey them and hope everyone else will too, because without them we would probably be either dead or hopelessly lost. The signs keep us watchful and aware in this high-speed environment. It is an attempt to bring order to a dangerous and unpredictable world of our own making. But the world that God created is predictable and in good order. In his book, “The Third Planet Operating Instructions,” David Browen has this to say, “The planet has been delivered wholly assembled and in perfect working condition, and is fully automatic and trouble-free in its orbit around its star, the sun.” Imagine that! No maintenance required and no batteries needed. Jesus will come again, but it is not for us to know when and how this happens. God is moving toward us in a manner and speed that is of God‘s own determining. So be alert. Watch and pray. And when the signs in the heavens appear the world will know that its redemption is near.
