One Day
I sometimes wonder what it would be like when the Lord comes back. When I was a kid, I was a bit fearful of the thought. As I’ve grown older and journeyed with Him for several years, I don’t fear Him – I trust Him. I do probably have some apprehension about what it will be like in the end – the unknown.
Our world seems so busy and distracted with doing our jobs and going about our lives that we don’t always pay attention to where we are headed or where this is all going. We often live as if the Lord doesn’t exist. I believe that a day is coming where we will all come before Him and His Presence will bring shock and awe. We will all bow down, but some will bow down out of faith, while others will bow down out of fear. Check this out….
15 Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the generals, the rich, the powerful, and every slave and free person hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16 And they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, 17 because the great day of their wrath has come! And who is able to stand?” (Revelation 6:15-17 CSB)
One day it will not matter how much money I have or have earned.
One day it will not matter how much power I possess over people here on earth.
One day it will not matter how many places I’ve been.
One day it will not matter how much I know – just that I know Him.
I want to know Him now so that I’m not fearful when the day comes for this earth to be over or my life to come to an end. I have put my trust in the One Who gave me life and the One Who sustains my life. I wish the world would put their trust in Him now so they would not be frozen in fear later. Today and every day I’m preparing for that One day.
Pressing On!
