Revelation 8

Questioning my stupidity remains with me today. Yet, I have spent another day consumed by my sins and guilty nature and I don't remember trying to change. Is Satan's grip on me so strong? Isn't God's grip tighter?

Today's reading begins the destruction of the earth, and it leaves me with a lot of conflicted emotion. I am not a nature freak by any means, but I am a total sucker for a good beach scene. I can't imagine witnessing the annihilation of His creation. It is beyond me. Beaches, mountains, waterfalls ... gone.

But wouldn't eternity with our God be so much better? Better than Hawaii. Better than Mount Everest. Better than Niagra Falls. Better than sunrises and sunsets and spring rains and freshly fallen snow.

IT WILL BE HEAVEN!!!!

But the warning still comes:

vs 13 ... I looked hard; I heard a lone eagle, flying through Middle-Heaven, crying out ominously, "Doom! Doom! Doom to everyone left on earth! There are three more Angels about to blow their trumpets. Doom is on its way!"
