The Aftermath of Hurricane Sandy:

Maryland Governor Marin O'Malley warned yesterday that "people will die in this storm." Tragically he was right. Sixteen are dead; an estimated 7.5 million people are without power this morning. Hurricane Sandy has had a devastating impact in our nation. The reality is that Christians have to do as Paul said and awake from our sleep we are in. (Romans 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to AWAKE out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.)  The reality of the world we live in today, is that God is the only One with enough power, with enough authority, to cause major bodies of water to move itself upon our nation. Just as that is true, God is the only One with enough authority and power to eternally save a person. We must realize that we are not the one's who have the power to save, however, we have been commissioned by God to tell people about the salvation He brings. (Luke 14:23 Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.) As Christians today, we have another opportunity to show that we actually believe what we say we believe and truly be the hands and feet of Jesus. People are hurting today and could use some encouragement. How will you encourage someone else today?
