Hurricanes

Tropical Storm Eduardo is headed our way! The weather station is predicting it could reach a Level 1 Hurricane. Yesterday I was in Walmart and all of the bottled water is gone. Folks are standing in line buying flashlights and batteries. The prediction that a bad storm could cross your path and last as much as a twenty-four hour span has people moving to get prepared, interesting!

Hebrews 9:27 tells us,  "And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment." (NASB) Death is a certainty. I don't personally know anyone living who is over one hundred, very few in their nineties. 

You have to ask yourself if it makes more sense to prepare for the storm or eternity. Now I have to admit I think you should prepare for a hurricane but it makes little sense to prepare for such a temporal event and ignore eternity. 

As it turns out Eduardo fizzled out and didn't amount to much of a storm. However, we can be confident God's Word will stand forever.
