THE DAY IS ALMOST HERE!!!

THE DAY IS ALMOST HERE!!!
"The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber. The night is nearly over the day is almost here." Romans 13:11-12

The dark time in which we live is almost over and "The Day" of the return of the Son is almost here.
Our Father knows us so well. He knew we would be in danger of oversleeping. Like the bride I once saw in a movie who overslept on the day of her wedding. You wouldn't think that would happen, because a bride looks forward to her wedding day most of her life. Could it be that she was so engrossed in things that were going on the night before that she overslept?

Isaiah 52: 1 "Wake up, Wake up, O Zion Clothe yourself with strength! Put on your garments of splendor!"

Romans 13:12-13 Tells us "to get rid of our evil deeds, to shed them like dirty clothes. Clothe yourself with right living being decent and true in everything we do."

We all know that weddings take preparation. The bride needs to take time to prepare herself for her groom. She spends time making sure everything is perfect for her him. She wants to look radiant for the once she loves. So she must spend time in preparation. She wouldn't dare appear with a stained wrinkled dress to meet the one she loves on the most important day of her life.

Please be aware dear ones of the time in which we are living. Jesus said we were not to be like the Scribes and Pharisees who did not understand that it was the season for the Messiah to come. These were educated men who should have known, because there were clear indicators throughout the scriptures describing God's plan for His Son to come. But He was right there with them and they didn't recognize Him.


We are given all the signs for His return. We must realize the urgency of the hour. We must not be so engrossed in the darkness that we are deceived and keep putting off preparation for His Coming. Don be caught off guard!!!

We must WAKE UP, the night is nearly over and The DAY is almost here! The Bride must begin preparation for her Groom!

WHAT A DAY THAT WILL BE!!!

When we stand before Him and realize that all those things we fretted about here on this earth were taken care of. He did it, He brought us through!!! He was faithful to bring us through all those difficult times. We dwelt in these earthly tents traveling on our way to the Promised Land. The journey was long and difficult at times, but He fed us with Manna from Heaven (His Word) to strengthen us. We were given water through His Word when we were dry and thirsty. He gave us His Holy Spirit to guide us so we would not lose our way.

In the Old Testament God's people celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles every year. They built tents or tabernacles to dwell in during these feast. This was so they would recall how God brought them through the wilderness, dwelling in tents on their way to the Promised Land. How he supplied their every need, feeding them with manna from Heaven, giving them water from a rock when they were thirsty, a cloud to guide them by day and fire by night.

I can't help but think about how we today go through our trials just as they did, on the journey of life on this earth on our way to the Promised Land. And one day we will be able to recall how on this earth He brought us through all the difficult times we had in this life. All those trials and circumstances, that at the time we couldn't see how we would make it.....He was faithful and met our every need!!!! He brought us through!!! WHAT A DAY THAT WILL BE!!!!
