Y2K, Will You Be Ready?

Y2K has the potential to be one of the most catastrophic events the modern world has ever faced -- or one of the most over-hyped. New millennium reality is likely to fall somewhere between these two extremes. But we have no way of knowing what will really happen on January 1,2000 -- the future appears to be uncertain.A couple of facts are certain: God Knows and in Control of the Future!God was, is, and always will be in control of world events. God in fact controls history. The Bible says that dominion belongs to the Lord and "He rules over the nations" (Psalm 22:28). God, who created the universe with a word, controls every event that will occur, including the events that will accompany the dawning of the new millennium.This does not mean that God will prevent tragedy from striking mankind, but that He will use these events to further His purposes, especially to draw people into relationship with Himself. God is patient with us, "not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9).For the Christian, the Future is Secure!Did you know that if you put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, you don't have to worry about the future? In fact, Jesus commands His children not to worry! He says, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6, 7). What a glorious promise for the child of God! If we turn to God in faith no matter what the circumstances, we will have God's perfect peace.Does this mean the child of God will not suffer while onthis earth? Absolutely not! Christians throughout history have suffered and will sufferGood News Publishing Company Staff is the author of 'Y2K, Will You Be Ready?', published 1999 under ISBN 9785550095416 and ISBN 5550095416.
