NAGOYA UNION CHURCH

A SMALL CHURCH WITH A BIG LOVE FOR GOD


Alert and ready cuz God’s got you

(This post was written by Lady Imagawa.)

 

I am not sure if you heard or watched the news about this:

 

"The Japan Meteorological Agency continues to urge caution against a possible mega-quake in the Nankai Trough along the Pacific coast. The agency says no irregular changes have so far been observed in the crustal strain. A special advisory was issued for the first time on Thursday after a magnitude 7.1 tremor struck off Miyazaki Prefecture in southern Japan."

 

I am not here to add more worries but I am here so I can tell you: God’s got you!

“So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭34‬, ‭AMP)

But although I urge you not to worry I also want you to be alert and be ready of the things you have a bit of control of. Maybe make sure you have an emergency bag ready. Some coins, thousand yen bills for spending as they said bills of 10,000 yen would be a bit too high if you are purchasing just drinks or small items. A flashlight, and extra batteries at home will be a big help too.

From Japan Times: Write down important phone numbers and store them in your emergency kit. In addition to contacts of family and friends, note emergency contacts and the number for your embassy. Prep a supply of water and nonperishable food and be sure to check your earthquake kits for expiration dates annually.

Maybe a checklist will help but again most importantly let us pray and ask the Lord to protect us and our loved ones. Spare the whole of Japan and may we and our children and our children’s children never experience this big earthquake coming.

May you have a good evening and let the Prince of Peace Jesus Christ reign in your heart, provide a well-ordered and balanced life, and offer the assurance of eternal life. Amen
