Life Goes On - Have a Confident Expectation of Good

Some people have been going about trying to read every event as further proof of the End of the World and I am not disputing any of them. These events are indeed signs of the End and I do not believe anyone in their right mind would deny that.

However, to interpret everything on a specific timeline and try to fix a date would not be the right path. The scriptures tell us that the Lord IS coming back for His own and further cautions us that only the Father knows the exact timing even though there are positive hints in His modus operandi. But then again, we must remember that God, being the Creator, has His own timetable and He does not need to work on specific modes like humans. Bear in mind, He is the one who created time and He Himself lives OUTSIDE of time and so I would encourage you not to place too much emphasis on a specific day or hour and place all your eggs into one basket, stake your reputation and efforts solely on that chosen day and time and then when it does not happen as expected by you, you will become disillusioned.

God created each one of us unique and yet in our collective nature, we are all programmed to live under the regime of expectations - do good and you will be blessed but do bad and you will be beaten! So here I am saying that we live our lives with our expectations and when things do not turn out the way we expect them to turn out, we get disappointed. Who started all these in the first instance? is it not we ourselves for setting those expectations?

So what am I saying? Simply that we should all live our daily lives with the expectation that the Lord is coming back for His own but in the meantime, we continue to live in the confident expectation of good because of what Jesus our Lord and Savior had already accomplished for us on the cross. He paid the ultimate price so that we need not face the judgment and wrath of God. Those who have not believed in what Jesus had accomplished for him on the Cross and received Him into their hearts will always go around with the fearful expectation of judgment but not for the Believers for all the judgment had already fallen on the Body of Jesus on the Cross; what is left for us now is a life of blessings and favor because we are the righteousness of God in Christ.
