We have entered the new millenium. In the last couple of years prior to the coming of the new millenium we've put up with dire warnings of impending disaster with Y2K, the rapture of the church and other Doomsday forecasts. None of these things have happened.
Life goes on as it always had.
Looking back at all the dire predictions we observe that human nature has a tendency to make mountains out of molehills. We seem to make life situations more complex and complicated than is necessary. Just as we make things more difficult in our daily affairs, we make our relationship with God more difficult than the Lord intended. If we look in Genesis, we see that it was Adam and Eve hiding from God. He went searching them out.
