Rev 16
Like the 10 plagues that hit Egypt, the seven angels poured out 7 bowls of God's wraths.

As I watch the story unfold, the consistent word "and they cursed [2] the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory"

In good times, they knew no God. When disaster happen, they cursed God. These are the poeple who believe in their own strength and knew and choose to know not God. N wonder, God has to destroy and these people must know or will then know that God is the creator of everything.

Armageddon, the movie still show human trumiph over nature and over God. Ask, then why if God choose to spare, then it is for us the time to repent.

Indeed, revelation showed the end. Our lives seems to be revolve around the stress at home, the stress at work, the anxieties and the worries of the world.

I, then choose to turned my eyes on the eternal God. On the persepective of the things that is eternal. Paslm 73 when the palmist entered the santuary, the pespective is that of the eternal, the things of God that last. Stress and achieve all we want without a care for God, then when diaster and bad news happen, we will stand to see eveything in our persecptive , curse God who has control over the plague and still not repent.

There are indeed many things that are beyond our control, the stress at work, the project dealine, the anxieties over our children ...

Turn our eyes on Jesus, all things will be made new, everything is a learning process for us to know our God in a deeper way.

I have slowly learn to enjoy my work and of course enjoy my family. I pray that each day I will learn to be root in God first, then knowing one day I will soar with Him.
