Every now and then the world seems on the brink of disaster with
different world powers posturing against one another and danger seems
imminent. The truth is we are always on
the brink but make ourselves a cozy bed in denial. Many of us are cushioned by
being in a less danger situation at least close to home. For us disaster is something remote in the
Mediterranean where migrants drown because their boats are not sea worthy. We
say, “Poor things.” And turn back to our comfortable lives. But the biggest
danger we face, no matter where we come from is danger from God. We are all sinners having inherited this
problem from our first father and mother Adam and Eve. If we think about God at all we may try to
please him with the good deeds we do.
But the problem is God requires us to be absolutely perfect!! He knows
that is impossible for us if left to ourselves and so in His kindness and mercy
He sent Jesus to die on the cross so that absolutely any of us who put our trust
in Him will be saved from God’s anger and be clothed with that necessary
perfection. How great is our God!! Once
your eternal destiny is sorted you can face anything in this life because you
know there is a better one to come. It
doesn’t make living easy but it puts it into perspective.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
