Earthquakes come suddenly and without warning. Scientists with all of their sophisticated equipment still can’t predict when one will occur. They only know that earthquakes will hit at some point but they can’t say when. A couple of big California earthquakes reminded us of this fact last week.
And like earthquakes, so is life. “Life happens.” We can expect to have our fair share of pain and anguish because that's just part of the equation. But the real issue is timing. We have no idea when we'll get hit.
We see the fault lines in our homes and in our lives. They exist in the workplace too. They are often fragile, precarious and prone to rupture than in other parts of our lives. So our faith and hope must remain steadfast in God while we plan in earnest for the inevitable disruption resulting from life’s seismic events.
There's a distant rumble that may soon shake your life. Are you ready?

i think that there is only one thing that we can truly be ready for.
ReplyDeleteby the way.
you write poetry.
you just don't realize it... yet.
My mom just dx with Pancreatic Cancer. She has been an abuser of perscription pain meds. My brother lives with her who has been an addict his whole adult life with intermittent periods of sobriety. Unable to cope with his mom and caregiver having such a devastating dx he picked up and consequently got himself arrested twice in one week. Without my faith in God that he sees this disfunction, and hears my frustrations, I could not handle all that has been thrown my way. God is with me and will give me the strength I need to help my family.
ReplyDeletewow. David. The timing of this gives me chills.
