11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly. ~ Psalms 84:11
It’s easy to take our eyes off of the hope of the return of Christ and focus on a world that’s filled with gloom, dread, and hopelessness. There’s so much hate, division. Lying, stealing, and cheating. There’s fearmongering and deceit. Sickness and disease.
Fear of the day and fear of the night. Rising prices, lower wages. It seems like every day, the price of gasoline is rising. In with the new and out with the old has caused people to lose hope. It feels almost impossible to focus on the coming of Christ when the world seems to only get worse. When we’ve hoped for the return of Christ for over 2,000 years, it feels as if God has forgotten His people, but is that true? Has God forgotten us?
No matter how long the night feels, we always have the hope that the sun will rise in the morning, on time. It won’t be delayed, nor will it forget; we have hope that the sun will rise every morning. God is our sun. The night feels long. It feels like it may never end, but our joy is coming in the morning. Our joy is on the way. We know that Christ will return. We know that Christ will not be late, nor will He be hindered from His return.
Peace. Love Go Forth and Hold To The Blessed Hope.
