Tuesday afternoon, January 12th, the worst earthquake in 200 years - 7.0 in magnitude - struck less than ten miles from the Caribbean city of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The initial quake was later followed by twelve aftershocks greater than magnitude 5.0. Structures of all kinds were damaged or collapsed, from shantytown homes to national landmarks. It is still very early in the recovery effort, but millions are likely displaced, and thousands are feared dead as rescue teams from all over the world are now descending on Haiti to help where they are able.
God is shaking us to wake up. It's time to drop to our knees; face down in prayer- for yourselves, for your family, for the people in Haiti. It's time for our spirits to awaken. Be reminded by this tragedy that the times are near. Every day that passes is a DAY closer to Christ return. For he delays another day for another soul to come to know the Lord, personally. Don't delay, come to know the Lord. Where will you be when he arrives?
"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."
_Romans 12:12_
