With the earthquakes in Japan and now Indonesia yesterday, there have been a lot of talk on the end times.  Lets put these news in perspective. There are earthquakes going on daily, it is just that we only hear of the big ones 7.0 and above.

Earthquakes happening around the world

OK so if the end times or end of days is coming...what does the end times mean to you ? What is the impact that it happens tomorrow or next week or next month ? Will you do anything differently ?

Personally I feel that we focus too much on the end times and we loose sight of the present, and what we have to do now. We should concentrate on the things we can do today and do it now. The end times will come when the time comes. What we have done has gone into record, what we do today will contribute tomorrow. What we plan to do tomorrow may not come to pass. No matter how you worry about the end of days, it will not make that day come any sooner and you cannot defer that day. Live your life as best as you can and be true to the word of God.

Joshua 3:15-16 Leap of faith

Joshua 3:15-16


"As soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water's edge, the water from upstream stopped flowing. It piled up in a heap a great distance away."

God always teaches us about faith and trust by directing us down a path we think is too hard to travel - into circumstances we don't understand. After all, if we could clearly see and understand, there wouldn't be a need for faith. But we often miss the opportunity to experience the true glory of God because we fail to obey and take the first step.

Sometimes we get plunged into a situation far beyond our control, just like the people of Japan these few days with the earthquake and tsunami devastating the country. We may not need such an extreme event. It may be a new job, a new investment ...but faith means trusting in God to lead us to some where safe, some where good. Are we willing to get out of our comfort zone and to take the first step...the leap of faith.
