He Is Coming

John, 

To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne, and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. 

To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

“Look, he is coming with the clouds,”

   and “every eye will see him, even those who pierced him”;

   and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.”

So shall it be! Amen.

Revelation 1:4-7 NIV

We may not know the day or the hour that our Savior is coming, but, we know he is coming. It is good to take a breath, remember we are part of his kingdom, and we are serving as his priests. This is a moment in eternity that our God and Father is Sovereign Lord over. He directs the hearts of kings, rulers, and even tyrants. His will is being accomplished. Not my will, his will. 

Lord, grant us the strength to continue in our faith, flourishing in your presence. Use us as light in the darkness of the world. Be gracious to those around us and open their hearts and minds to you. Praise be to you in us today!
