Psalm 65:4

One of the hardest things that Christians wrestle with is predestination. How in His sovereignty, before the creation of man, God decided who He would draw to Himself. And although we might not understand His reasoning or methods, we can overflow in gratitude. Gratitude for being one of those God calls His own. Once we were all enemies of the Lord, separated by our sin and sentenced to death. But in His love and mercy, God sent His only begotten Son to redeem and reconcile His beloved children back to Himself. And that includes you and me! How awesome is that! God chose us to draw near to Him and dwell in His courts. To be satisfied abundantly with the goodness of His house. And to His children, our Father in heaven promises an eternity spent by His side, never again to be separated from the God of our salvation!

Revelation 14:15

When the harvest of the earth is ripe, none will escape the mighty sickle of God. For as lovingly as He gleans the righteous, He will just as fiercely strike down the wicked. His judgement will be swift, final, and when carried out, leave none standing. We serve the God of second chances. Yet His patience has an end. For over four millennium, God has stayed His judgement. For He wishes none to perish. (2 Peter 3:9) But one day soon, the trumpets will blare and time will have run out. Even as we speak there is an angel in God’s heavenly temple. He is eagerly waiting for the time when he will cry out with a loud voice to “one like a son of man.” And at his urging, with one fell swoop, the Lord will reap the earth. So now while there is still time, receive Jesus as your Savior. Become part of God’s precious wheat laid up in His glorious storehouse, rather than a discarded tare thrown in the fire to burn away.

Revelation 11:19

The book of Revelation contains wondrous signs and events that will happen prior to Jesus returning and reigning. When the seventh and final trumpet is blown, the long awaited arrival of the kingdom of God on earth will finally be at hand. In a great “amen”, the earth will display an awesome show. Lightening will flash, thunder will peal, hail will rain down, and a great earthquake will shake the world. And all of this to usher in the opening of the majestic, heavenly throne of God. The seat of the great “I am”, Creator and Ruler of all things! And there in God’s temple, the ark of His covenant. The visible presence and promise of God to be forever with His people, the ones He calls His own!
