The Last Day
“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying,
If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as
the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should
receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet
glorified.)”
(John 7:37-39)
Today’s Morsel: Today is the last
day of 2020. It seems like yesterday, that 2019 was upon us, and everyone
had great plans for 2020. We had a theme about perfecting our
vision. Many sermons were prepared and preached about vision. Even
optometry clinics use it as a time to usher in new glasses and contact lenses
for people to see better. Boy, did God perfect our vision or what!!
He opened our eyes to just how much hate, envy, prejudice, corruption,
deception, lying, cheating, backbiting, gossip, and evil was in this
world. Believe me, God opened our eyes and brought into focus those
things that He really wanted us to see. Especially in the church.
He opened our eyes so that we could see who was committed and who was not. He
opened our eyes so we could see people’s true colors. And here it is
again, the last day of the year. The year 2020 is ending. And as
the Apostles Peter cautioned us, “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief
in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and
the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that
are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved,
what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens
being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent
heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new
earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look
for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without
spot, and blameless.” (2 Peter 3:10-14) I believe that Jesus is coming
soon. This could very well be our last year, last month, last week, last
day. Have you been filled with His spirit? Have you been baptized in
Jesus' name? Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow we pass over. Have
you considered eternity lately?
Sing: Here’s my cup Lord, I lift it up
Lord. Come and quench this thirsting of my soul. Bread of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more. Here’s my cup, fill it up, and make me
whole.
Thought For Today: Enjoy this day
for tomorrow we pass over.
Amen or oh my 😂
