Judgement Day

I woke up this morning to the same world that was here when I fell asleep. I checked Facebook to see if anything unique had happened in another country and was greeted with a post that said something like, "It seems the end of the world is not today."

I turned to my husband and said "Oh good, looks like the world isn't ending." Instantly I regretted my words.

I admit, I too have found the humor in the so called judgement day for May 21, 2011. After all, the Biblical math I saw that supports this theory isn't very solid. I've read some funny jokes on the internet.

But even as I find amusement in the sarcasm, I also feel my heart fighting against the laughter.

After all, just because his calculations and Biblical knowledge is off to me, we both still want the same thing. Wouldn't it be wonderful if God did come back today?

One day He will. And maybe He can use the publicity of this well-intentioned but misinformed event to ask the question of people across the world, "If God did return today, would I ready?"

One day, whether its today, tomorrow, or years in the future, the world we wake up to will be a decidedly different one. And that is cause for great joy for those who eagerly await His return.
