"On that day living
waters shall flow out of Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and half of
theme to the western sea; it shall continue in summer as in winter. And the Lord
will become King over all the earth; on that day the Lord will be One and His
name One" (Zechariah 14:8-9).
There will be a day
when every prophecy will be fulfilled. There will be a day when Your Kingdom has
come and Your will is done, on earth as it is in heaven. There will be a day
when every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord
(Philippians 2:9-11). There will be a day when the kingdoms of this world have
become the Kingdom of our God and of His Christ (Revelation 11:15). That day
will be "the time of universal restoration that God announced long ago through
His holy prophets" (Acts 3:21).
We live between this
day and that day. We live in the age between the day of Your first coming and
the day You'll come again with fire blazing from Your eyes and the declaration
of "King of kings and Lord of lords" emblazoned on Your thigh (Revelation
19:11-16). Every day, every breakthrough, every salvation, every healing, every
deliverance, every sign, every wonder is a foretaste today of that day to
come-"a foretaste of future glory" (Romans 8:23, NLT).
One day You'll come in
glory in the skies (1 Thessalonians 4:16). But every day between this day and
that day You want to come in glory in our hearts. "For, in fact, the Kingdom of
God is within (us)" (Luke 17:21). "For the Kingdom of God is ... righteousness
and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit" (Romans 14:17). So come, Lord Jesus, come.
"The Spirit and the bride say, 'Come.' And let everyone who hears say, 'Come.'
And let everyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who wishes take the Water of
Life as a gift" (Revelation 22:17). So while we wait with eager longing with all
creation for that great and glorious day to come, we praise You and thank You
for every day of Your Kingdom and Your Power and Your Glory in our lives now. In
Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
Be encouraged today! In
the Love of Jesus, Tommy
