Finally

"There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory"- Luke 21:25-27 (NIV). 

Hurricane Michael is certainly shaking up the heavenly bodies this morning. I've never seen a hurricane make landfall from that direction and follow the path it's taking up through Georgia and the Carolinas. Areas are still cleaning up from Hurricane Florence, which came from the opposite direction just weeks ago. With all this roaring and tossing of the sea, Christian hearts tend to beat a little faster. It makes you wonder, if Christ came today, what would He find? Would people be running to hide, like cockroaches when the light is turned on? I do believe there will be many whose hearts will melt with fear and dread, because Jesus has fulfilled Scripture and returned. Those are believers, caught up in this world, who aren't watching; who aren't ready. Some actually want Jesus to delay His return; they're enjoying this life and don't want it to end just yet. Then there will be the few, because few is what Scripture points to, who will be watching and will shout and dance when they see Jesus coming in all His glory. I want to be one of the few, who, with arms stretched wide open and head tossed back, welcome the Savior, our King, with tears of joy and adoration. While many hearts will be saying, "I'm not ready yet, Lord!" our hearts will be saying, "Finally!"
