In various areas of China in the recent quake, over 12,000 people have died. In Myanmar, Burma, it seems an estimate of 100,000 have died. In each of these cases, we can see that a natural disaster does not exclude women and children, and takes all ages.
Many people in each territory do not know the Lord and horrible things are happening all over the world. In Texas and other states in the USA, there are whole cities sinking. In the USA currently there was 24 people who died in tornadoes. A while ago we know there was a horrible flood in the USA. There was a horrible natural disaster in Indonesia as well.
As Christians we must do what we can to help these suffering people, especially sharing Christ with them however possible. We must pray for the nations and salvation of many. We do not know the day or hour Christ will return and the end will come and it can be any day soon or later.
Must we sit by and enjoy ourselves and think so much about how we can be comfortable, or shall we make a difference for the Lord?
I encourage you to go to the Lord and ask Him what He wants you to do. He may say pray. He may say pray and fast. He may say "go on a mission." But I am not the Lord so what He will say to you I do not know. But I encourage you to speak to the Lord about this. So many are dying without knowing our Lord. We must take action!
