While we were driving to the store one day, we saw dark clouds in the sky ahead of us—very dark. Although we didn’t know exactly when, those dark clouds were telling us it was going to rain soon.
While we were in the store, we heard a clattering sound on the roof. Such a racket! We wondered if it were possible that rain could make so much noise, so we went over to the window to look. Yes, the parking lot was flooded, and the rain was coming down in torrents! We were very thankful we were inside the store.
Just as those dark clouds warned us it was about to rain, God is giving us dark clouds of warning that His judgment is going to fall on this sinful world very soon. Don’t be caught here when those clouds break! Come to the Lord Jesus now and be in a safe place. “Acquaint now thyself with Him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee” (Job 22:2121Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. (Job 22:21)).
