WITH HIM FOREVER!

READ:

Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
-James 4:14

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Psalms 146-147
1 Corinthians 15:1-28

In 1859, during the turbulent years prior to America's Civil War, Abraham Lincoln had the opportunity to speak to the Agricultural Society in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As he spoke, he shared with them the story of an ancient monarch's search for a sentence that was "true and appropriate in all times and situations." His wise men, faced with this heady challenge, gave him the sentence, "And this, too, shall pass away."
This is certainly true of our present world - it is constantly in the process of deterioration. And it's not happening just to the world; we also face the reality in our own lives that our days are numbered. James wrote, "For what is your life? It is even a vapour that appears for a little time and then vanished away" (James 4:14).
Although our current life is temporary and will pass away, the God we worship and serve is eternal. He has shared that eternity with us through the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ. He promises us a life that will never pass away: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begottend Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).
When Christ returns, He will take us home to be with Him forever! - Bill Crowther
Awake, my soul and sing
Of Him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Through all eternity. -Bridges/Thring

For hope today, remember the end of the story - eternity with God.

Today God is calling you (3)

I have prayed for you, that your faith will not fail.' Luke 22:32 NASB

God wants you to do His will, but you'll never reach the place of spiritual maturity in which you're free of Satan. You can overcome him, but you can't eliminate him. Look at Peter. He had only one gear: overdrive. He was always...More
