While the world is so focused on the massive tragedies occurring in Japan, the rest of the world is showing significant signs of trouble, also. We need to be closely watching and praying. The Bible contains some very explicit verses that contain these directives! Here are a few: Mark 13:33, Mark 14:38, Luke 21:36, Ephesians 6:18, Colossians 4:2, 1 Peter 4:7.
So, what do we watch, and what do we pray about? In summary, we can say we need to “watch what’s going on!” And, as for what to pray about, the list is possibly endless. But, here is a great Bible instruction on where to start.
1 Timothy 2:1-6 1I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;2For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;4Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;6Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
God cares about everything that’s going on, and about everybody, even those who do not yet know Him.
