Short Thoughts for Today

I appreciate the truth seen in the passage of scripture that is the basis for today's short thoughts. Divinely inspired, in Hebrews 10:37, the Hebrew author writes, "FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE, HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY." Go ahead and say, "Amen!" Go ahead and say, "Praise God!" Go ahead and say, "Thank you, Jesus!"

Yesterday I shared some thoughts regarding the necessity of endurance in Christian living. Before that, we discussed the "better" and "lasting" possession we have that transcends the conflicts and sufferings that can be ours this side of glory. But today we are reminded of a future event that's as sure as today's setting sun and the rising of the same tomorrow.

Assuring His disciples, Jesus had said, "If I go, I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am you may be also." None of us can possibly know just how long a "very little while" is to the One who is eternal. But without a doubt, each day draws us nearer to His coming. We may not be able to mark it down a date and time certain on our calendars. But the certainty of its occurrence has been long established in His word and we
can look forward with assurance that, "HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME"!
