EAT, PRAY, DIE

All this talk about that prediction of the Rapture happening this weekend got me thinking about some things. For the record, I do not buy into this prediction in the slightest because I stand firm on what the Word of God says about this in Matthew 24:36 when Jesus says "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son of Man, but only the Father." and continues in verse 42 "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know what day your Lord will come." I've been seeing people's responses from total belief and fear that this will happen to jokes being made that the guy is a whack job of a prophet. I sat here thinking this morning about this. "What if this really occurred on Sunday Michelle? What would you do?" Many things crossed my mind like my Bucket List. Things I'd like to do before I die and yadda yadda yadda. In thinking about what I believe to be truth about the Rapture and the coming of Jesus, I was bathed in peace. If I knew the hour of my death or the outcome of tomorrow would I really live my life differently? While I'm not perfect, I am saved by His grace. Everyday I wake up and I EAT, PRAY and DIE to self. At least I try to DIE daily. If I'm living my life this way then I have nothing to fear. So I came out with the peace that if the rapture really occurred on Sunday I would be going to the BEST PARTY in HEAVEN.

    I heard that one too, but Jesus talked about the end more than just about anything else. He gave specific indicators and instructions, many of which have not occurred yet. Also He and his disciples taught folks to be overcomers for the time of trouble that would come before Jesus returned. The word they used for trouble is thilipsis, which is often translated 'tribulation.' If we are clinging to Him, hearing His voice and obeying His direction, there is nothing to fear. We will find ourselves right in His arms no matter what is happening around us.
