Is This the Day?

"IS THIS THE DAY"
 

When you look up to the sky and you see the bright light behind the clouds do you think, "Is this it?  Is he coming right now?  You know that His return could be at anytime.

Matthew 24:30 ......"and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and glory."  

What do you want to be doing when our Lord and Savior is coming in the cloud?  Pastors want to be behind their Pulpits preaching of His salvation. We all want to be able to say I was doing His good works and that is very admirable but we could be just driving down the interstate and see Him coming. Maybe asleep and wake up with a start. As Christians we will rejoice when we see Him.

How exciting to read that He is coming in power and glory.  He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords.  His glory.  Words can not described His glory.  He is glory.

I hope you can stop for a moment today and ponder on His coming and where you want to be when He  comes in the clouds.

Fall is finally here.

 
We come in all sizes and so do pumpkins.  I didn't realize that there were so many kinds, colors and shapes, of pumpkins.
 
 

We can see what is on the outside but what is really on the inside.  I am talking about us human beings not pumpkins.  Do we really know anyone very well?  Do we take the time to find out what is going on with others?  Does anyone really know you?  I don't think so.  We all keep a part of life hidden from others.  There are various reasons that we keep quite.  We don't want to be judged harshly when we don't meet others expectation.  We don't want others to see our weaknesses, fears sadness but guess what someone already knows.  He created us.

Our Lord knows when we have had a bad day at work, felt lonesome in the middle of a crowd, feared that we could not keep on keeping on.  He knows when our families are going through bad times with health issues,  when finances are in a mess and we are so sad and wonder how we are going to go through that unopened door.  Thank goodness He knows and He cares.  There is a Promise you can claim.  "Casting all your care upon Him; for he careth for you."  I Peter 5:7 

Our Lord and Savior is always only a prayer away.  I am reading Max Lucado's book, "before amen."  The Power of a Simple prayer.  That is all  we need to do, Offer a simple prayer.  He knows our cares but he waiting to hear from us.

I started a prayer journal on the 1st and I hope to continue it. Now I am going to sit back and wait for the miracles.
