What’s Waiting Ahead of Us?

Arlene L. Antonio

Threats to the environment, conflict and persecution, inequality, cybercrime and now the Virus -Covid-19.We are living in a world of fear and uncertainty. The big question is-“Are we going to survive this generation?” A system that will soon to fall in the blink of an eye if we will not address properly the root causes of our troubles.

It has been foretold long years ago that there are some striking events that would signal that everything will end. Our pains, sufferings, sickness and even death will soon be vanished. But before that, we will experience first critical times that are hard to deal with. It is like a storm that will soon to calm. Wonderful things will happen to mankind after these trials.

In this time -Acceptance of the reality that man has no power in controlling these dilemmas. Yes- man has given the wisdom and strength but no man can ever stop when wrath of fate comes. Human limitations cease one to overcome and solve the problem.

We find comforts through prayers—our strong shield. Even if we are unsure that Someone is listening and soon answers our requests , we still gamble…believing that everything will be fine at the right time in His will. He will protect us and while waiting let us be vigilant , trust Him-the One that made true hopes and realistic expectations.
