When We Get Fearful About The Events in the World, Are We Showing Our Trust in Jesus?

It's easy to become fearful with all the natural and unnatural events happening in our world today like: hurricanes, fire after fire, tornadoes, ice and snow storms beyond anything in the past, and earthquakes.  

Now, I can't tell you that these aren't the signs that the end of the world is near, because no one knows the time of the end and each day is one day closer. I can say that we shouldn't wait until it's too late, thinking that when it's close to the end, then we will turn our lives and life-style choices into Jesus' capable hands. 

We all need to have an active positive relationship with Jesus, regardless of when the world is. One thing is, if we get panicky over the disasters, we aren't trusting Jesus to take care of us Christians through that time. 1 John 2:24-26 says: Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that He has promised us-eternal life. These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. 1 John 2:28: And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
