I was reading the headline news this morning and my eyes glanced at an article called, “Signs of the Times” and in that article it discussed how a young generation of Islamic worshipers bow 32 times daily to their God. These followers of Allah are devoted to prayer and they humbly bow with their foreheads touching their prayer cloth.
Only God knows the time when He will return! But are you devoted to prayer? Are you becoming less busy so you can spend more time in prayer? We must recognize that God knows our every thought, situation, need or crisis.
Revelation is the book in the Bible that talks about signs of the times, and the second coming of Christ! Where will your mind be? In a spirit of prayer and praise or so consumed with the things of this world that you do not ready yourself for the signs of the times?’
One of the most intriguing people I recently read about is a Hindu man Sadhu Sundar Singh. He became a Christian after declaring he was going to kill himself at a young age after his mother died! He could not withstand the rigid training to become as royal as his father desired. I encourage you to research this man’s full story. He actually saw a vision of God and was radically saved and devoted his entire life as a martyr for Christ!
Sadhu Sundar Singh prayed, …. “O Lord God who art all in all to me, Life of my life and Spirit of my spirit, have mercy on me and fill me with Thy Holy Spirit and with love that there may be no room for anything else in my heart. I ask not for any blessing, but for Thyself, who art the giver of all blessings and of all life. I ask not for the world and its pomp and glory, nor for heaven, but I need Thee Thyself, for where Thou art, there is heaven. In Thyself alone is satisfaction and abundance for my heart; Thou Thyself, O Creator, hast created this heart for Thyself, and not for any other created thing. Therefore this heart cannot find rest in aught but Thee: only in Thee, O Father, who hast made this longing for peace. So now take out of this heart whatever is opposed to Thee and abide and rule in it Thyself, Amen”
