There is nothing more alarming than an alarm clock going off in the
morning when you’re asleep. OK maybe a fire alarm or a firetruck
siren. The sound is really irritating. It forces you to deal with it. Leilani
started to scrabble across the bed while I was in another room. I ran
quickly to the clock and turned off the alarm button. I apologized while
Leilani controlled her displeasure. The alarm clock did its job and we
were awake. We started getting ready for our tasks of the day.
I wonder if God has an alarm system to get our attention. Some would
say yes and point out various disasters as indicators. I don’t agree.
Disasters are what we need to be made aware of before they come.
They are the reasons for the alarm. The Lord told Haggai the prophet,
“”Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the
earth, and the sea, and the dry land….” (Haggai2:6). The shaking was to
tell them that something very import was coming to pass. The shaking
is God’s alarm system. So, be ready!
The event in Haggai was that the glory of God was about to fill His
house. Now we are the temple or house of God. Get ready. He is
about to fill His house with glory. Can you feel the shaking? I believe
God’s getting ready to fill His house with glory ounce again.
