Today’s Thought “Asleep and Missed the Bus” G. Ward

Revelation 21:2-4

And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among the people, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.”

 

The imagery written for the believer’s joy, while in a strange land exists for our meditations that leads to gratefulness in activity. We must never cease striving to praise our Lord for HIS great preparation long ago that included you and me. To know of such a perfect, eternal abode where sorrows will be extinguished by permanent joy and peace, anticipates rightly – as a song of old exists that invites any, by asking, “Don’t You Want to go to that Land, Where I’m bound?”

 

Father God, Your orchestration of the final ceremony of redemption provided by Christ is with incredible splendor, while desirous of mankind’s surrender to King Jesus; even appointing us, Your church, as carriers of Truth and causing our heads to hang low through interrogative observation in not having been our best, yet understanding the day given is young and You keep providing breath. So, may we rise to witness Your will being done – ALL because of Jesus, Amen.
