Heed the Call

And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ Acts 2:21 NIV

What a perfect verse. Of course, God always has the right word at the right time. It's up to us to apply it to our lives. In the wake of Hurricane Harvey and in anticipation of Hurricane Irma, troops and relief efforts mobilize to ensure public safety during and after the storm, in addition to settle in for the long rebuilding period.

Unfortunately, these storms are unpredictable and devastating, especially for those who are vulnerable. We can prepare all we want and it could still not be enough. True, most will be physically safe, even if they lose their homes or businesses. And rescue personnel will do all they can to help people be safe.

But the truth is tbey won't be able to save eberyone. This is a reality we must accept, if even reluctantly. There is simply not enough manpower or preparation that can be 100% fool proof, allowing 100% citizen safety. Exacerbating this is the fact that not all people listen and respond to calla to evacuate. They refuse to leave their homes, or they simply cannot.

But God. I love that phrase..but God. God will save everyone...everyone that comes to him, that calls on him. All who believe will be given eternal life. He wants no one left behind and he has infinite resources to ensure your eternity with him. All you must do is heed his call. Evacuate from your sinful life, the one without God. Leave the darkness even though the light may be strange and new at first. The reward is worth it.

So in this hurricane season, if you are in the storm's potential path, be safe. And for everyone, call on the one who can save you with 100% certainty.
