Revelation 14:15-16

One day, there will be a final harvest. The moment when Jesus returns to gather His people. Just like a farmer knows when the crops are ready, God knows the exact time when the earth will be ripe. Sometimes when I look around at all the brokenness, division, and darkness, I wonder how much more this world can take. But then I remember. Jesus is coming, and His timing is always perfect. Until that day, our calling is to stay faithful. To keep planting seeds of truth, hope, and love, even when it feels unnoticed. Every prayer whispered, every act of kindness offered, every word of encouragement spoken becomes part of the work God is doing. But there’s also a sobering reality. The final harvest will be just that, final. There won’t be time to go back and plant what we left undone. That’s why what we do now matters so deeply. This is the season to live with purpose, to point others toward Jesus, and to make sure our own hearts are ready. The harvest won’t just mark an ending, it will open the door to a beautiful eternity with Him. And that thought fills me with both urgency and joy.

Reflection Question: Am I living with intentional faith today, planting seeds that will last into eternity?

Prayer Prompt: Lord, help me stay faithful in the work You’ve given me. Teach me to plant with love, live with purpose, and keep my heart ready for the day You return.

Mark 16:19

In Mark 16:19, we witness the awe-inspiring moment of Jesus’ ascension into heaven. A miraculous and powerful testament to His divine nature and authority. Yet as He ascended, He left His disciples with a beautiful promise, assuring them of His return one day. A promise made to us as well, and one that fills our hearts with hope and anticipation. Because it reminds us that our Savior will come again one day soon to reign in glory. In the meantime, we find comfort in the presence of the Holy Spirit, who dwells within us. Loving, molding, guiding, and comforting us in the midst of life’s trials. Knowing that Jesus reigns as King of kings and Lord of lords brings us immense comfort and reassurance. His sovereignty extends over all creation, and His love sustains us through every season of life. As we await His second coming, we hold fast to the hope of His eternal kingdom, where we will dwell with Him in perfect peace and joy forevermore.

Matthew 24:30

I love stargazing with my son. And there’s nothing more frustrating than just missing a shooting star. Jesus says when He returns, there will be no missing it. The sun and moon will go dark. Stars will fall from the sky. Even the very heavens themselves will be shaken. And everyone from the four corners of the earth will witness the glorious spectacle. All will see the Son of Man descending to earth on the clouds of the sky. All will see His great power and glory revealed. A wonderful and joyful sight for Christians. Yet those who don’t know Jesus as their Savior, will mourn at seeing the Lord. For the second coming of Christ marks the end of the age. And unbelieving hearts will feel deep regret at not receiving His gift of pardon when they had the chance!

January 30th – Isaiah 35:4

Isaiah 35:4 

Timothy warned that near the point of Christ’s return, society would degenerate to all forms of ungodliness. (2 Tim. 3:2) And we’re there. Yet no matter how evil the world becomes we needn’t fear. For very soon God is coming with a vengeance to make things right. Isaiah too faced the desolation of his culture. The Assyrian Empire was sweeping through the land destroying everything in its path. The Northern tribes of Israel had already been conquered and dispersed. And the Southern Kingdom of Judah was next. Yet Isaiah didn’t give in to fear or despair. Instead he calmed the anxious in heart with the promise of God. A promise we too can claim. The Lord will save those He calls His own! And in His perfect timing, goodness and righteousness, He will come to restore the land and banish all evil forever!

1 John 3:2

I don’t know about you, but the older I get the longer it seems to get going in the morning. Gone are the days where I can jump out of bed and start my day without a little warm up. And so it goes with aging. From the day we are born, our bodies begin the process of decay and eventually death. But one day very soon all of that will change. For the Lord is coming for His church. And when the glorified Jesus Christ is revealed, not only will we know Him, we too be revealed with Him in glory. And that includes our bodies. We will discard these frail, sin loving, diseased, and defective bodies, for new perfectly glorified images of Christ. And all because of the great love that God shows us by adopting us into His family and calling His beloved children!

Revelation 19:11

The theme throughout of the book of Revelation is the revealing of Jesus Christ, and the second coming of the Lord back to the earth. When Jesus came the first time, it was as the gentle Lamb on the back of a donkey. But when He returns, it will be as the Lion of Judah on the back of a white charger with eyes of fire. As a mighty Warrior with His saints at His side, Jesus comes to rule, bringing judgement with Him. And as King of kings, and Lord of Lords, Christ establishes His kingdom on earth, conquering the Evil One. Called Faithful and True, Jesus will reign with a rod of righteousness, and tread the wine press of of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. ( Rev. 19:15)

Revelation 1:7

The seven tribulation will be a time of God’s wrath poured upon the world. Yet even though the earth and its people will endure the terrible consequences of rejecting the Lord, there is hope. For God’s love is never ending, and He wishes for all to come to repentance. So although God’s judgement will be felt by those who reject Him, His mercy and love will also be felt by those who embrace Him. Many will be saved during the tribulation, and they together with the world, will see the Lord’s glorious return. Every eye will look upon Him as He comes to cleanse the earth and set up His millennial kingdom.

Hebrews 9:28

The penalty of sin results in a debt that we all owe. And knowing that not one of us has the ability to pay on our own, Jesus Christ came. He came to become the only sacrifice acceptable to God and stamp our debt paid in full. With His death on the Cross, Christ provided to everyone that would believe on His name, the gift of eternal life. And now Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father waiting until it’s time to come once again. This time, Jesus returns not to offer salvation, but to come for His beloved bride. To call home those who eagerly have waited for His return. Oh how I long for that glorious day, and I cry, “Maranatha!” Come soon Lord Jesus!

Matthew 24:36

Many have unsuccessfully tried to predict the time when the Lord will return. But Jesus Himself tells us that no one knows that exact day and hour but God. For as Acts 1:7 tells us, “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by His own authority.” So instead of throwing around false predictions, we should instead  be living on alert, ready for His return. We are to keep working for God’s kingdom while recognizing the signs and seasons of the approaching times. And we are to keep preparing ourselves as a bride lovingly prepares for her bridegroom. Until that glorious day when Jesus calls us home.
