Prayer: I praise You, Lord of life, for the resurrection promised in Your Word. Grant me faithfulness unto the Last Day. Amen
Just a Thought – We do not know when that Last Day will arrive. It could be later today, tomorrow, a week from now or later. Only God knows the date. We do not know when it will happen. Are you ready to be received by Christ Jesus and His angels in the heavenly kingdom or is the alternative in your plans? I sincerely hope and pray it is not the latter. What we do know as Christians is that day will come. Attending church regularly is a good start to learning how to prepare for that day and time.
