Genesis 18:1-33; Job 21:1-34; Matthew 10:1-23
Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this. Revelation 4:1 NKJV
Happy anticipation is the sparkling foretaste of hope. That’s why many of us spend hours lost in travel plans or preparing for a family reunion or special celebration. The joy our soul experiences when looking forward to earthly events mirrors our blessed, eternal hope. No wonder God invites us to come up and take a peek at the scene that is waiting for us! He is on the throne amidst dazzling colour and regal attendants. It is alive with pure music and light.
We’re almost there! Surely, He is coming soon! —Caroline Webb
Clothed in rainbows of living colour,
Flashes of lighting, rolls of thunder;
Blessing and honour, strength and glory, and power;
Be to You the only one who’s King. —Jennie Lee Riddle
