What a Difference!

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night.

2 Peter 3:10

Maria Grever, a Mexican-born composer, wrote more than one thousand songs, starting when she was four years old! Her career began at age eighteen when she composed “A Una Ola,” which sold three million copies. Her best-known song, “What a Difference a Day Makes,” was recorded by the likes of Dinah Washington, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, Natalie Cole, Barry Manilow, and Tony Bennett.

Think about what a difference it will make when the day dawns for Christ’s return! It could be tomorrow. The Bible says His coming will be unexpected by multitudes of people. Those of us who love Him will be amazed but not totally surprised. When our hours are weary and our hearts are low, we should think about the difference that day will make. When we’re sick and suffering, we should visualize His return. When the arrow of disappointment cuts through us, we should console ourselves with contemplations on our everlasting life in heaven.

Jesus is coming again, and He will be victorious. When you feel discouraged today, meditate on His soon and sudden return.

We are supposed to meditate on His return…. You have no idea what good this does the soul until you give it a thorough try yourself.

John Eldredge

Jesus will return soon. He said so!

2 Peter 3:8-9

8 But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. 9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

It has only been a couple of days since Jesus was here…

Rev 22:20

"Yes, I am coming quickly."

Amen. Come (quickly), Lord Jesus.

Wait patiently, yet expectantly for the return of your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
