Thought For Today November 17
Something To Look Forward To!
What are we Christians looking forward
to today? As we begin this new day which God has given to us, do we
have something to hope for, something that has been promised to us
that we can with assurance look forward to?
We all ought to be looking for
Jesus to come. What a glorious morning that will be when - “For
the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the
voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in
Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be
caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the
air and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”Thessalonians 4: 16, 17.
We ought to be diligently scanning
the heavens - “looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious
appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ: who gave
himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify
unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.” Titus 2:
13, 14.
Meanwhile, as we wait and watch,
and long for his coming, we ought to occupy until he comes as good
soldiers and should live … “soberly, righteously, and Godly in
this present world.” Titus 2: 12.
Let us rejoice and be glad. There
is a great day coming when we shall enjoy the fruits of our labor.,
but rejoice today for this is the day that the Lord hath made. Let
us rejoice and be glad in it because this is the day that we still
have opportunity to labor for the Master so that when the bridegroom
comes we will have oil in our lamps, trimmed and ready to meet him.
