Ready of Not…Here He Comes

Prayer – Lord, I’m ready. Are You? Of course You are! We’re all just waiting on God the Father to say “Come.” 

Come quickly to help me, O Lord my savior. Psalm 38:22

 

Meditate. Pray.

 

Are you waiting on the Lord?

            David was pleading for help from the Lord. He was feeling overwhelmed by his enemies and pleading for God’s mercy.

For I am waiting for you, O LORD. You must answer for me, O Lord my God. Psalm 38:15

God has given us a message for our future. Actually, He gave predictions throughout history…and those foretelling came true. Consider the 365 predictions of Jesus that were fulfilled. Google it for yourself. Now we can look forward to promises that were made regarding the End Times and the coming Kingdom. There will be some scary time as written in the book of Revelation—but for those who love and obey God, choosing to have Jesus as their Savior, it is a time of reassurance and at some point, rejoicing. The symbolism in Revelation may appear to be alarming—even frightening. For that reason, some people just don’t want to study that book of the Bible. But trust in the Lord—He has a plan—and will surely bless those who trust Him and are obedient.

Trust in the Lord
Soar like an eagle.
Be ready for Jesus' return.


But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

As we wait—let us not give up and get tired. Keep going—walking with the Lord—and waiting on Him.

He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon!" Amen! Come, Lord Jesus! Revelation 22:20

Even amidst the turmoil we see around the world today, we wait patiently, anticipating Jesus’ return. Are you choosing to faithfully and patiently wait for the revelation of Jesus Christ?

 

Verses of Salvation ~ So think clearly and exercise self-control. Look forward to the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world. So you must live as God's obedient children. Don't slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn't know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. For the Scriptures say, "You must be holy because I am holy." 1 Peter 1:13-16
