Another day to serve the Lord.
Another day to remember His loving kindnesses.
Another day to tell people of His goodness.
To share the gospel, to be faithful of the call.
Here we are, another day
To brighten moments that arise with the light He has put inside of us,
to shine upon the hill so all may see,
to tell those around us who Jesus is, how He changed our lives, how He ordered our steps,
and brought us where we are today.
I often think of when I have planned for a trip,
all the careful decisions that are made, the travel, the accommodations
until that day arrives and as the destination is in sight,
all the effort it took to get to that point.
It is the same way with His return,
we carefully expect it and soon, it will be.
We will one day experience His return, our destination has been set,
the arrangements have been made and He has carefully orchestrated His plans for us.
Then will be our final call, our exit from this world,
the treasure we have been gathering will be that we will finally meet the Lord face to face.
Whether dead or alive, our bodies will be changed.
For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
