Time For Great Anticipation!

'The seventh angel blew his trumpet. There were loud voices in Heaven saying: "The kingdom of the world now belongs to our Lord and to His Anointed, and He will reign for ever and ever.” ¹⁶ And the twenty-four elders, who sat on their thrones before God prostrated themselves and worshiped God, ¹⁷ and said, “We give thanks to You, Lord God Almighty, Who are and Who were. For You have assumed Your great power, and have established Your reign."'   

Revelation 11:15  [NIV]

 ***************************************************************

In as much as the Book of Ecclesiastes tell us "There is a time for every purpose under Heaven," today's Scripture reminds us that Believers have great reason to rejoice, even in, and especially through, these tumultuous, difficult times!

For in the chronology found in the Book of Revelations, especially from Chapter 11 on, it is clear that God guides, counsels, protects and comforts all who love Him and follow His commands. Even as this world shows increasing signs of it's passage into sublime darkness, and Christianity is ever more marginalized in this world, Believers are lifted up by our loving God as He sets us apart as His own. 

Here, today, we learn that God has 'stepped in,' and is fully in control in this world; and along that path, worry and fear about this passing world dissipate, are replaced with peace, joy, and great anticipation for what is to come. For there is no person, force or principality on earth greater than our loving, Living God. Heavenly Father of all, He is the Alpha and the Omega...In Him, there is no darkness at all; and His Light is truly a beacon for humanity for those who desire His unconditional love, seek Him in earnest, and follow His commands.

In the name of Jesus, I praise You on high for all You have done, are doing right now, and preparing to do, to prepare the way for what is to come. My soul leaps for joy at the sound of Your Holy Name, and I claim your guidance, counsel, love, protection and comfort again this day! Amen!/ amg
