A Day is Coming


A Day is Coming

Imagine, if you can, a world where God intercepts all hurt and pain. Where He stands a guard against all illness and accidents. Imagine, if you can, a life of nothing but joy and happiness and good things.

Would it be a wonderful thing if God so willed to eradicate cancer and addictions? What if He looked down on earth and declared “Enough!” What would it be like to weep no longer for those we love when pain comes their way? And yes, to no longer weep for ourselves because we cannot physically step in and change the course of the future.

It has become the cry of every soul on earth – the cry of those who don’t believe in God as well as those who love God dearly. A cry that says, “If there is a God, why doesn’t He step in and do something?” A cry that shouts, “I believe God has the power to heal, change, and stop my pain. Please, Lord – do it today!”

God could, if He chose to do so, make it all stop. He is the Most High God, The All Powerful Lord.

If He would come and sit alongside me and ask me if He should simply end all this sorrow on earth, I would have to say, “no, Lord, no.”

What would drive us to our knees if we walked in perfect peace on earth?

What would make us take notice of what matters most in life?

What would cause us to turn to God and scream, “Only YOU Lord, I need only YOU”?

 What would God use to mold us, shape us, and form us into the likeness of Christ?

Like you, I have known heartache. Like you, rain falls in my life. I know we all have our own way of grieving and handling the tough stuff we must face.

But to know God’s grace on news levels . . . to experience His peace in my heart . . .to catch a greater glimpse of heaven to come . . . to quote a great old gospel song I wouldn’t take nothing for my journey now.

We won’t hurt forever. A Day is coming. . .

A Day is coming when the clouds will part and there will be no more pain. A Day is promised, when God will dry every tear from our eyes. . .

Look! God is dwelling with men,

And He will live with them.

They will be His people,

and God himself will be

with them and be their God.

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Death will exist no longer;

grief, crying and pain will exist

no longer,

because the previous things have passed away.

Revelation 21:3-4

God will make everything new, just as He promised.

A Day is coming. . .

Until that day arrives, I chose to believe God’s promises. He has proven Himself faithful time and time again.

A Day is coming . . .

Until then, I chose to be faithful.

Let’s worship Him together. Let’s honor Him together. Let’s believe in His might together.

A Day is coming. . .
