SHELTER FROM THE RAGING STORM

  

Matthew 24:37
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 
Amen and come Lord Jesus, come quickly.

In the days of Noe, people mocked and laughed at Noah for a hundred years while he faithfully built the ark.  The ark that would provide shelter from the coming storm for Noah and his family.  There was so much evil and disbelief in the world, that there were only eight righteous souls saved from the calamity that quickly ensued from the flood waters. There was no chance to escape for those who refused to listen and believe.

The storm and floods came quickly once the appointed time arrived. God in all His wisdom knew who would be saved and who would not be.  God in all His infinite love and compassion has given the sign of the rainbow as His promise to never flood the earth again.  But the storm clouds are gathering again and a warning is being given.  The difference from the days of Noah and the current storm is we have His precious Son, the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.  We have refuge from the storm and are fully protected.  We need not fear the gathering clouds because once again, just as in the days of Noe, the righteous will be given shelter. 

Heed the warning, shout to all the world to all who will listen and keep praising and loving our God with all your heart, soul and mind.
