sound the alarm on my holy hill.
Let all who live in the land tremble,
for the day of the Lord is coming.
It is close at hand—
The end of the world isn't something most of us think about much. The Bible always refers to the "day of the Lord" in urgent terms, like it could happen any moment. But it's been thousands of years and it hasn't happened yet, so we get complacent and don't really think about it. Should we? Yes! Not only the end of the world, the end of our world. We can die at any time, without any warning. Are we ready? Do we know God and are a Christian, baptized for the forgiveness of our sins and to receive the Holy Spirit? Have we reached all of those with whom we want to share the good news of Christ?
Lord, thank you for reminding us that the end of time, or the end of our time, can come at any time. Please help us to always live with a sense of urgency regarding your work. Amen.
