Thanksgiving

I am truly thankful for the cease-fire between Israel and the Gaza Strip. An invasion by Israeli forces would have been a lit match that would have lighted a fuse resulting in a powder keg blowing up and starting a horrendous chain reaction of events in the Middle East and beyond. Everyone could watch their football games and enjoy their family dinners today knowing that an unstoppable red horse of war was not going to be unleashed on the world. Again, God is trying to get our attention to the lateness of the hour. There will be no peace in the world until the Prince Of Peace, Yeshua, comes and brings about that true peace for His Millennial rule on earth. Wikipedia's definition of a cease-fire:

A ceasefire (or truce) is a temporary stoppage of a war in which each side agrees with the other to suspend aggressive actions. 

Note the words temporary and suspend. Hamas is most likely using this "peace time" to restock their rockets.

"And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it."  ~Zechariah 12:3

Sandy

Matthew 7:25-29 come to mind looking back at the Frankenstorm of the decade. Look up from your iPads and iPhones and laptops and see how God is trying to get our attention. The death toll was thankfully incredibly low for such a widespread disaster. People were doing crazy things like walking in streets of water that had live power lines dangling in them or trying to navigate raging water. Look for more "warning signs" coming up fast. Pay attention. The bible does indeed have all the answers your looking for. Sand is not a stable foundation for a house especially when built on a beach. Build your foundation on The Rock which is Jesus Christ and your future is insured!
