Reading: Mark 13 and Hosea 8-11
Scripture: Mark 13:8, For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains.
Observation: So often when some sort of disaster happens, like the one in Houston or many of the past people start quoting the Bible saying the end is near. Yes I believe the things spoken that need to happen before the end have happened and The return of Christ could come at any moment but also according to the word these things we are seeing are the beginnings of the birth pains and as most woman who have had children know those birth pains can start long before the big event.
We are told in several places in the Bible that only the father knows the day and time. Matthew 24:37, "But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” There are many things that are happening and have happened recently that appear to fulfilling some of the last prophecies for the end times but we also have to remember that when ever someone says this day or this time we can be relatively sure that it won't happen then because only the father knows.
Prayer: Father you are so wonderful, you have placed these signs and wonders into our lives to show your truth. I thank you for all you do in our lives I thank you for the provisions you pour out on us each day and the blessings you give us even though we don't deserve it. I ask you to help us to know your presence in our lives and share your love with the world around us so that the entire world has been told of your love.
