Treasuring His Word

Psalm 94:19, 22- “When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul...the Lord has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge.”

Tomorrow

“Tomorrow is a happy thing; it is one stage nearer glory, one step nearer heaven, one more mile sailed across life’s dangerous sea, one mile closer to home. Tomorrow is a fresh lamp of the fulfillment that God has placed in His firmament. Look forward to tomorrow with ecstasy, because our Lord may come. Tomorrow, Christ may be on this earth. “Therefore, you also be ready, for the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” (Matt 24:44) Tomorrow we may all be in heaven.” -Charles Spurgeon

How exciting the day will be when we will meet our glorious Savior! There will be no more pain, no more suffering, and no more tears! After reading the above quote I was freshly reminded of what our call as Christians is on this earth. Christ died to save wretched sinners as I to bring glory to Him in all we do. As I was reminded last night at my church singles meeting, “Biblical discernment involves critical thinking.” We must take some time in everything we do to ask, "Does this glorify God? Is He honored by this decision?" The race to the finish line isn’t always easy. It takes much strength, but God is ready and willing to help us. All we must do is ask and it will be given. He will provide the grace we need to get through anything.

When you think about tomorrow, what comes to mind? Are you living in light of eternity?....

Troubled soul don’t lose your heart
Cause joy and peace he brings
And the beauty that’s in store
Outweighs the hurt of life’s sting

There will be a day with no more tears,

no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place,
will be no more, we’ll see Jesus face to face
But until that day, we’ll hold on to you always

- Jeremy Camp
