Some time ago a man was staying in a chalet in the Swiss Alps. Early one morning he heard what sounded like an earthquake. Hurriedly he got out of bed and ran to the front desk and asked if there was something wrong, if the mountains were breaking up? He was scared. The man at the front desk explained, “Sir, we are on the west side of the mountain. As the sun comes up in the east, and the snow and ice expand as they begin to warm. The expansion causes a large crashing noise. It’s not the end of the world. It’s just the beginning of a new day.

Believers, that noise you hear, those headlines you read, may be signally the last days of Planet Earth. No one knows for sure. But this we know. You don’t need to fear God’s future. It’s not really the end of the world. It’s just the beginning of a new day.
