Triumph and Glory

The day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.  1 Thessalonians 5:2

Christians have no cause to go around wringing their hands, wondering what they will do in the face of the present world situation. The Scripture says that in the midst of persecution, confusion, wars, and rumors of wars, we are to comfort one another with the knowledge that Jesus Christ is coming back in triumph, glory, and majesty.

Many times when I go to bed at night, I think that before I awaken, Christ may come. Sometimes when I get up and look at the dawn, I think that perhaps this is the day He will return.

But until that day, God is still working--and so should we. In a world filled with turmoil and hopelessness, we are to pray, and we are to do all we can to alleviate suffering and bring Christ's love to others. May Jesus' words become true in your life: "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 5:16).
