Evening: Psalms 110:1-5, 116, 117; Amos 5:18-27; Luke 21:5-19
In one Beyond the Fringe skit, a group of devotees prepares for the ‘End of the World’. When it does not arrive at the appointed hour, the leader says, “Not quite the conflagration we were anticipating, was it? … Oh well, same time tomorrow?” Perhaps as a species we are inclined to dramatic predictions and expectations about dire circumstances (not that there is nothing to worry about!), but Jesus advises: beware of being deceived; tell the truth as you understand it; pursue wisdom; be patient … Pretty good advice for most situations.
