NUMBER 400, “I AM JUST THE MAIL MAN DELIVERING THE MAIL, AND EACH LETTER READS THE SAME”, JESUS IS COMING SOON, GET READY!!
PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW 7/27/2014; 400 articles about 395 of them have been my daily devotionals and one thing I am happy to say is I AM JUST THE MAIL MAN DELIVERING THE MAIL AND EACH LETTER READS THE SAME, JESUS IS COMING SOON, GET READY!!! I remember a 1993 movie starring Bill Murray who was a news reporter.
The concept of the movie was each day he awaken he would re-live what happen the day before. And today I can say with faith and happiness and with no reservations in the God that allows me to also awake each day, that the message and promises in His word, are the same yesterday, today, and will be the same throughout eternity as I see my Savior’s face and hear him say “‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
My friends “Heaven and earth will pass away, but [His] words will not pass away” Matt. 24:35 (ESV) so you can believe with full assurance that “[Our Savior is ] coming soon! [and His] reward [will be] with [Him], and [He] will give to each person according to what they have done.” Revelation 22:12 (NIV)
So as God’s vessel my goal is to continue to repeat our Savior’s promises about his soon coming while using some practical way of expressing how we all can try and get our message across to the world while at times it seems that as his children, even we become immune to the message. so even as the MAIL MAN I Must create new and innovative ways of saying, Jesus is coming soon, please get ready!!!
And hopefully you as God’s children also will get as much as I am trying to give through Christ. Because God has been there from day one and every word I depend on him to give me through His Spirit. My goal and I hope you will also make it your ultimate goal in life and that is to tell the world that “we have not here an abiding city, but we seek after the city which is to come.” Heb. 13:14 (ASV)
1 Peter 1:17 (AMP) also tells us And if you call upon Him as [your] Father Who judges each one impartially according to what he does, [then] you should conduct yourselves with true reverence throughout the time of your temporary residence [on the earth, whether long or short, here in reverent fear”].
And once we have done this our next responsibility is to tell a world that has lost sight of the saving grace of Christ that this is not there Home either. Paul says “our citizenship is in heaven” So as Christians our minds must stay on things not of this world, as we live with the future of what my God has prepared for each of us in the earth made new.
”for this world is not our home and as God’s chosen we are just passing through. We should always feel like aliens, or strangers in a foreign country The Psalmist said, in Ps. 119:19 “I am a stranger on earth” Though we travel as temporary residents, our commission as God’s chosen is to tell others of the good news of a new home where everyone will receive life eternal if they have faith in each of His promises that he has given us in His word.
In this world we can never become comfortable, or adjust, as we begin to adopt to the customs of these sinful surroundings we live in. For Jesus Christ is our only true source of comfort and security. he gives us only small portions of eternity as we travel this journey He has placed us on.
Consistent with this, a new home awaits us that “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9 (KJV) so I pray today my friends that until Christ appears through those clouds that we all will continue AS MAILMAN OR MAILWOMEN FOR CHRIST, DELIVERING HIS WORD THAT JESUS IS SOON TO COME, PLEASE GET READY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
