They Are Waiting
"They are waiting for someone to help her..." was one of the quotes read today. Waiting. I can not begin to comprehend the kind of waiting the people in Haiti are enduring. For the average person waiting in a grocery store line could create tension of damaging proportions , not to mention waiting at a traffic light.
January 12 th, 2010 , a devastating earthquake seized the ground of Haiti and ripped her fragile community apart. It has been said that 500, 000 are estimated dead. unfortunately we will never know the exact total because most of the bodies will forever be entombed in the rubble. Already the first mass grave has been crudely dug and over 7,000 people have been laid to rest.
"Dear God send someone to help help her! " That was my first thought , but I knew the answer , because I know the scriptures ...
" Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" , Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature..... and go ye : carry corn for the famine of your houses:
Over and over the Lord commanded us to " go" . Alas , I can not physically go , so what does that mean to the believer if we can not jump on a plane and fly to Haiti and search through rubble? The pictures have begun and are being spread non-stop across the internet of people living, starving, dying and yet she waits....
First and foremost , we "go" to our knees and fervently cry out to our Abba , Father, to send the help they so desperately need. Secondly we " go" to our finances and formulate a plan to send whatever we can , even if it is a few dollars , to help these people who so desperately need it . Last , but not least , we "go " to our sphere of influence, whether that be home or work, facebook or twitter, and cry out on their behalf, and beg on their behalf for the assistance they deserve.
There is no need that they should wait too long when God's people are here , ready , willing , and able. Have you once cried out like I have ..." Here I am Lord , send me" ? This is your opportunity to be a blessing and make a difference in someone's life.
God bless you and be with you in all you put your hand to do.
