Have any of you heard about this guy, who is saying that he world is going to end on May 21st? How can anyone really know when the world is going to end? No one can, that's just it! You know my mom was giving a devotional this morning that I would like to share with you. It's out of the "Below the Waters" devotion book. So keep in mind that what I'm writing, is not my words, but someone else all right? I hope you enjoy it as much as I did:
The trench from the dairy barn to the lagoon was well under way. Two men were in the trench. Suddenly one looked up and saw the ten-foot sidewall cracking. "Lookout!" he shouted. "The wall is coming in!" It came, crushing one man against the side and killing him. The other man was burried under about three feet of chunky dirt.
Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
--Mathew 24:41
Will you be taken...or left...Have a great day as you bask in God's great love and protection for you!

A backhoe started digging urgently. The dead man was uncovered first. The other one was found alive after they finished digging him out by hand. They thanked and praised God for preserving him underground for forty-five minutes.
One was taken; the other was left to live. People grieved for the life taken and rejoiced for the life left. But when the trumpet sounds, people will rejoice if they are taken and will grieve if they are left.
Will you be taken or left? Most of us have a living hope of being taken, because we believe in Jesus as our Savior and Lord and we have repented of our sins. We love our dear Father and His Son Jesus and have confessed Him before others. WE don't want to be left behind when Jesus gathers His bride to take her home. What a day that will be!
All children who die go to Heaven. Heaven is for the saints who have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamd. Hell is for the unrepentant sinners. God allows testing to mature and perfect us. Thank God for the struggles and for His power to overcome.
This short life is a preperation for eternity. FIGHT the good fight of faith. SERVE with zeal. On the last day we want to be taken, not left.
Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
