Earthquake
People in Washington D.C. evacuated from buildings |
I later found out that it was not a truck or an out of balance washing machine, but an earthquake. Thousands of people from Georgia all the way to New York had felt Virginia's earthquake. It was very close to Washington D.C. (which I thought was kind of... interesting). But I honestly thought that the East isn't supposed to have that magnitude of an earthquake! If I wanted that we could move to California! But once I began to think back about that few moments of the earthquake, I realized how completely powerless I was to what was going on. The roof could have fallen on my head! It made me realize how little I am. I may think I'm in control of this or that but God controls nature. He is so powerful. I am so small.
It made me think that that is how it is going to be after the Rapture... only a hundred times worse. The news said that cell phone carriers got completely bogged down and that people closer to where it happened were running outside in terror. The whole world will be like that during the seven years of the Tribulation.
God has the power to do anything. Just that minute or so of shaking in my room left me in awe of our Creator. How great He is.
Oh my word, that was terrifying. Our whole house was shaking.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly. I always thought that the earth I had my feet planted on was firm and reliable, but as it turned out, even that is fallible. My world was quite literally shaken. But it just shows me how much God is in control of everything, and how unshakable He is.
