Ever Faithful: 5 Day Devotional Planનમૂનો

SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO

What are you looking forward to? An upcoming trip? The end of a medical treatment? A visit with your children? A new car? The birth of a child?

A sense of anticipation is vital for mental health, and that’s why the Bible ends with the book of Revelation. Without Revelation, the Bible would have no ending. Or rather, it would end with the book of Jude, which is a wonderful book about contending for the faith. But it’s not a book that heralds God’s future. It doesn’t leave us with descriptions of the new heavens and new earth. It doesn’t end with the city whose builder and maker is God.

In times like these, the swift return of Christ fuels our anticipation of coming events— and we’re living in days when we need all the reassurance we can find. Peter said, “Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent” (2 Peter 3:14).

Don’t live in the past, and don’t become so bogged down with present burdens that you forget your future glory. Things are going to get better—much better! Jesus is coming! Let’s look forward to that day!
