Anticipate The Coming Of The Lord

Welcome back!
Two of my favorite books of the Bible are the Thessalonians, both of them. In each, there are verses that talk about the return of Jesus Christ. This is a time of seeking Him with all we have. It is a time to look forward to that coming back. We should be wanting to see Him like waiting for Christmas when we were kids. You know what I mean. I looked forward to Christmas with great anticipation and felt I could not wait even though it was still weeks away. As the day approached, it became harder and harder to sit still and not touch the presents under the tree. Sometimes I wished for X-ray eyes so I could see inside the packages.
That type of anticipation and more is what should be happening to us right now. We are here for such a time as this. Do you wonder why you were born now instead of back in the “olden days”? I wondered that lots of times, especially when I was growing up. I wanted to know just why now? What is so great about living right now? We are in a time of Biblical prophecies. The great prophets would love to be living in this time that we so casually blow off as being hard times.
Not all of us are waiting with great anticipation, are we? Some of us are worried that we have not done all we can do. Some are just not interested. They won’t be until it’s too late. Some simply think they have done what they need to do and are unaware that more is necessary. We are all in need of seeking God’s Face. We are all in need of doing the jobs we are called to do according to God’s purpose.
Now is definitely not the time to go off on our own paths. We are here for such a time as this. Mordecai said that to Esther right before she became queen. God called her to be in that place, at that time. We are called to be in this place, at this time. What an awesome God we serve. But if you are not serving God as you should or your life is not as it should be, please come to Jesus right now. Ask Him for forgiveness and ask Him to enter your heart to live forever. He is your Savior, waiting for you to call to Him. He loves you so much! He died just for you.
We love You, Lord. We seek you night and day. Early will I seek Your Face. Thank You for all the blessings that You give to us. Thank You that we, who are so slow at seeing what is so obvious, are patiently being taught by You. Please do not let your patience run thin with us. The Light shines through the clouds. The morning is here. God has brought us peace. We are free.
Thank You, Lord. In the name of Jesus! Amen.
