Earthquakes! Tornados! Tsunamis! Mudslides! Hurricanes! These are natural disasters that can literally crumble our worlds, leaving us wondering about the reality of God.
When the Temple was destroyed in A.D. 70, the book of Hebrews records how priests — believing and nonbelieving — wondered what would happen to Judaism because the centrality of Jewish worship was gone: “There shall not be one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down” (Matthew 24:2 KJV), Yeshua had told them.
Thank God the writer of Hebrews redirects their attention, not to the stones, or the lost Tabernacle, but that Yeshua Himself was the very embodiment of all that was contained in the Tabernacle, of all that the Tabernacle symbolized.
So I redirect your attention today not to the things you possess or amass! They WILL all crumble! They WILL all be nothing!
Redirect your focus to Yeshua! LOOK AT YESHUA! HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO IS A CONSTANT THAT WE CAN COUNT ON.
PRAYER: Thank you, Father, that as all things in this world are transitory, that you are not! Thank you! You are a blessed assurance. I stake my life upon You! In Yeshua’s Name! Amen!

Hello abazgrl
WHAT IF YOUR WORLD CRUMBLES?
We see the ……Earthquakes! Tornados! Tsunamis! Mudslides! and the Hurricanes! Yet people are aloof to the sovereignty of God. We are too wise in our own eyes.
We have all kinds of explanations, global warming, natural disasters, combustible explosions, etc. Are people really concern about these happenings?
While I agree 100 percent with you; redirect your focus to Yeshua, those whom Noah told, it would rain did not hear (?). They did; they simply chose not to listen. It needed to be personal in order for them to realize that it actually started raining and they were locked out of the ark. Much like what is happening. God wants our attention and we are not hearing.
So while the tsunami happens in other places those who were not affected can only feel sympathetic for a moment. But those who felt the after math of the turbulences understood what was happening to others who were affected by such devastation.
Let’s bring this angle into the equation; everyday people are losing jobs, someone is murdered, someone is homeless etc., is not our world crumbling? Because we (God’s Children) lack concern, love and understanding, those who need to see Yeshua, can’t.
None of us like Ezekiel was told that our wife (husband) would die and you can’t mourn her publicly like Israel can’t mourn for Jerusalem! Everything mentioned above is to get us ready for Christ’s return. We were told that starvation, earthquakes, tornados, tsunamis etc. in various places would happen. Lookup our redemption is approaching!!
Let us not be so misplaced by our own survival that we do not concern ourselves with what this is really all about; it’s been a global affect, what have we done for Christ’s coming? Or better yet who have we demonstrated that Yeshua is the door by which you can enter?
I leave this thought; as Eli told Samuel, when the Lord calls say “Yes, here am I, your servant” Let us also be fervent in worship as his mother Hannah and effective in prayer.
Servant of The Most High God
I love this!
Father, help us to be aware that everything in the earth — good and bad — points to your Son’s return! Help us to share that reality with others!
Thank you, Ora!
