It’s Not The End Of The World!

Tuesday, June 25, 2019

While I was leading a tour to Israel, we went to Megiddo. Megiddo is the biblical Armageddon, where the nations of the world will gather for the final battle; the place where it will all end. The tour was in two groups. I gave instructions to the leaders saying, "See if the two groups can meet together on the top of the mountain at the same time, overlooking Armageddon. But if it's not possible, it's ok. It's not the end of the world." And then I thought about it and said, "Wait a minute, it's Armageddon - it IS the end of the world!" I thought of how often we go through life acting as if it's the end of the world. We have a problem or a crisis, and we act as if it's the end of the world. But it's not the end of the world. When it's the end of the world, you'll know it. So don't worry, whatever it is you're going through may be tough, and it may be hard... BUT be encouraged. It's not the end of the world!
