October 9, 2007

Good morning to you. Do you ever wonder how fragile our world is? This is not the earth that we are standing on that I speak of, but the social, economic, and entertainment world that we live in on the surface of that earth. There have been wars, economic events, and social unrest for as far back as anyone can remember. Through it all, God has always been in perfect control of all. We can ponder these things, but we need not fear them. It seems that hardly a day goes by that some news report will have some form of doom outlook regarding something. Often these reports conflict with another pronouncement of doom from a few days or years in the past. All of it points out that none of us knows when Jesus will return, exactly as the Bible said many centuries ago. We live our Christian life expecting our Lord at any moment, but we also know that we may live to be 120 and die still waiting for Him to come. It does make our lives a bit of a split; looking to the heavens and hoping that today will be the day, but also looking to the earth and working, saving, and going about spreading the Good News. Jesus didn't promise that it would be easy, but He did give us His peace.

God bless each of you this day!
