Today's Scripture *April 29, 2009*
2 Peter 3:10-11
But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and the very elements themselves will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be found to deserve judgment.
Since everything around us is going to be destroyed like this, what holy and godly lives you should live,
The day of the Lord is the day of God's judgement on the earth. Here it is used in reference to Christ's return. Christ's second coming will be sudden and terrible for those who do not believe in Him. But if we are morally clean and spiritually alert, it won't come as a surprise.
Other prophetic pictures of the day of the Lord can be found in Isaiah 34:4; Joel 3:15-16; Matthew 24; Mark 13; Luke 21; and Revelation 6:12-17.
Realizing that the earth is going to be burned up, we should put our confidence in what is lasting and eternal and not be bound to earth and its treasures or pursuits.
Do your spend more time piling up possessions or striving to develop Christ like character?
Thank You Lord for this day. May we rejoice and be glad in it.
Help us Lord to store up our treasures in heaven! To put our hope and trust in You! Above all else.
You are all we need. In Jesus' Name, Amen..
God bless you!
In His Service,
April
