Deuteronomy 2:1-37; Ecclesiastes 2:12-3:15; Luke 6:20-49
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Luke 21:28
With the media daily reminding us of the pandemic, floods, droughts, famines, earthquakes, wars and general chaos, I ask myself “How much longer before the Lord comes?”. As we wait for that wonderful day, we will be discouraged if we look around at what is happening. Rather we must look up in joyful expectancy, for “our redemption draws near”, when He will snatch us away to be forever with Himself. Meantime we must continue serving Him to the best of our ability. —David Croudace
Let us labour for the Master from the dawn till setting sun,
Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care;
Then when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there. —J.M. Black
