What are you doing now, while everything is “fine”?

[Leonardo Von]

    What are you doing now, while everything is “fine”?

I know what you are thinking: “how can you say that everything is “fine” in the middle of a pandemic?”.

Well, consider this is only the outset of sorrows. Although all of us are undergoing some ordeals or predicaments, unfortunately worse days will come. And what should be our stance?

See the advice of Zephaniah with the approaching of the Lord’s Day?

•    Zephaniah  2:1 -> “Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;  
•    Zephaniah  2:2 ->  “before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD's anger come upon you. 
•    Zephaniah  2:3 ->  “Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD's anger.”.

The day of the Lord with all its fierce anger was coming on the Israelites and nothing could hamper His decrees of bringing forth. Many people, like in the days of Noah, were unnoticed. , only caring about the things and amusings of this life (Mat 24:36-39).

Note that the Lord’s anger is highlighted two times, showing that it isn’t only a single event, but several ones, which will pass like a chaff, that is to say, all of a sudden and causing many disturbing and distress.
    
Today the history is repeated. With the vaccines, many people are thinking that the things will turn to the normalcy. Nonetheless, this should be a invitation for all Christ’s believers preparing for Jesus’  coming.  And how can we prepare?

Follow the advice of Zephaniah. If, even the nation not desired was summoned to gather themselves together, how much more the Church of Jesus Christ.

Moreover:

•    Be meek and seek more meekness;
•    Seek the LORD;
•    Carry out His judgment;
•    Seek righteousness.

Doing this, maybe we will be hid in the day of the LORD's anger (that is to say, we will be raptured before the Creator pour down the vials of His wrath).

Don’t waver! Don’t jump into the conclusions! Take seriously Romans 9:28:

•    Romans  9:28 -> “For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.”

That is to say, the Creator will accelerate the fulfillment of the remaining prophecies. Hence many people will be caught by surprise.

So, have a good day abiding by Peter’s counsel:

•    2 Peter  3:12 -> “Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?”.

What I am doing while everything is “fine” is I am prepping and learning how to help others. This is Holy Spirit led. I have been since Dec. 2019 when it was first put on to me to do so. I live as basically a hermit, my days are spent in learning about the LORD and saving the information to be able to teach to others that will be sent to me. I now have redundancy 3 levels deep for everything for water purifying and storage, food, heating/cooking, etc. I am a retired nurse and have accumulated medical supplies and additional manuals for homeopathic remedies as well as diagnosing and treating what can be done with limited resources. I also am learning more about gardening indoors year round as well as outside. It all keeps me busy. We do not know when the LORD is coming back - in the meantime HE helps those who help themselves and who do HIS will. None of what I have been able to accomplish over the last 2 years could have happened if GOD had not provided the means. It was all GOD’s provision. Some of it was near miraculous in it’s happening.

My wife and I are prepping for the next depression.  We are on a fixed income.

Always praying no matter what.

I’m praising the lord for what he provides in my time of need

I love the word, it’s filled with so many examples of what to do and not to do ( especially the Old Testament)

Isreal always prayed to God when things went bad but the book shows us when things were “ fine” they forgot our Father?

Even when things are going good the lesson is that we should never stop giving the Lord the praise and the Glory

So in this “ fine” time let us not do as Isreal and Remember our Lord, and that he will see us through these times?
