In addition, I know we all are praying fervently that this disaster is somehow a signal that Jesus will return soon. That, as He taught us to pray, "Your kingdom come, Your will be done, as in Heaven, so also on the earth." Some have seen a link between the Gaza evacuation and the hurricane evacuation. We can see many potential signs, and discuss eagerly how they might be an important sign of Jesus' return. The important thing is that we discuss (Heb. 10:24-25), and that we watch for those signs (Mark 13:33-37).
Let us all pray for all people whose lives were uprooted by this disaster, that their newfound dependence on God will be permanent and not temporary, and that the disaster will serve as a daily reminder to us of His power and our reliance on Him. It's amazing how quickly we move on from such reminders....does anyone remember the tsunami that happened less than one year ago???
