Fault Lines

Earthquakes come suddenly and without warning. Scientists with all of their sophisticated equipment still can’t predict when one will occur. They only know that earthquakes will hit at some point but they can’t say when. A couple of big California earthquakes reminded us of this fact last week.

And like earthquakes, so is life. “Life happens.” We can expect to have our fair share of pain and anguish because that’s just part of the equation. But the real issue is timing. We have no idea when we’ll get hit.

We see the fault lines in our homes and in our lives. They exist in the workplace too. They are often fragile, precarious and prone to rupture than in other parts of our lives. So our faith and hope must remain steadfast in God while we plan in earnest for the inevitable disruption resulting from life’s seismic events.

There’s a distant rumble that may soon shake your life. Are you ready?
