"Proclaim further: This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'My towns will again overflow with prosperity, and the Lord will again comfort Zion and choose Jerusalem.'" -- Zechariah 1:17

According to the Mayans, this is the day that the world was to end.  If the prophecy had been one of faith long ago, the faithful would have attributed the fact that we were still here to God's mercy.  So I say that we live by the grace of God, and while on this earth, we each have an opportunity to live a life that honors God by working to fulfill his purpose for us, or we live a life that rejects God and God's gift of life to us.  If you're reading this, that means you're still here and have some life left to live.  What will you do with this gift God has given you?

Readings:  Zechariah 1:1-21; Revelation 12:1-13:1a; Psalm 140:1-13; Proverbs 30:17
