Destruction of all things

Yup, as the title states - there is a possibility of all things being destroyed, be it by flood, tsunami, earthquake, lightning, greater heating from the sun (depleting ozone layer), etc. To make things worse, mankind has introduced the not-too-recent 'concept' of terrorism into this world.

Its sad to realise that all things that mankind has worked for can be destroyed by the natural forces of this world. Nothing can stand in the way of the will of God, who created nature & controlled it till this day & till the end of this Earth. There is so much that we do not know, not even the planets & systems in the outer rims of space. Man's knowledge is so limited, yet we think that we are capable of doing & achieving a lot of things, on our own. This could be possibly why God has allowed such natural disasters (in fact, since the every early days of this Earth) to demonstrate that none can compare to Him.

He is a powerful God trying to bring home the point that man & all that we work for is destructable. A whole village in Thailand that took over a decade to build, could be destroyed by ONE tsunami wave in a few minutes. This really confirms that fact that all that we work for (or for some of us, slave for) can be gone in a mere instant. Indeed, as the Bible as clearly stated, there are things that we can work for & spend our lives working for, that won't perish. Things like sharing the priviledge, joy & acceptance of eternal life. Doing good in the lives of others. Filling ourselves with the knowledge of God & spending time relating & knowing Him. These are just some of the things that we can work for, that would last for eternity.

Why do man think about death? Or even fear death? Or even consider what happens after death? It is because we are made with the 'idea' of looking towards eternity. We were not made for Earth, but for something more... another place... This place is just a preparation stage for our future elsewhere. Its like a child growing in the mother's womb, for a short few months, only to be released into the real world, which isn't what we can imagine while living in our mother's womb.
