4/29            1 Thessalonians 4:16

16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves. 

ALL

All of us will go to be with the Lord.  He will raise the dead from the grave and those alive will go together to be with the Lord.  None of us will be left behind.  Jesus our Lord will take us home with to be with the Father.  

4/28            Psalm 29:10-11

10 The LORD rules over the floodwaters. The LORD reigns as king forever.  11 The LORD gives his people strength. The LORD blesses them with peace.

STRENGTH

The Lord gives us, His people, strength and peace.  It is a gift from the Father.  What a blessing.  Praise the Lord.  

4/27            1 Peter 2:23

23 He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly. 

JUDGE
We must learn to let God be the judge.  He knows everything and at best we know very little.  Put your trust in Jesus and turn your burdens over to Him. 

4/26            1 John 2:15-17

15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.  16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. 17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever. 

PLEASE

Please God and walk with Him.  You will find the cares and worries of this world will fade and dim.  Jesus is Lord.  Praise Him. 

4/25            Psalm 118:6-9

6  The LORD is for me, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?  7 Yes, the LORD is for me; he will help me. I will look in triumph at those who hate me.  8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in people. 9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes. 

EVERYTHING.  

JESUS is God’s everything.  He is able to keep us on a Godly course and in the day of our demise Jesus meets us and brings us into the presence of the Father.  Yes, He is Lord.  

4/24            John 9:1-5

1 As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth.  2 “Rabbi,” his disciples asked him, “why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parents’ sins?”  3 “It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins,” Jesus answered. “This happened so the power of God could be seen in him.  4 We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent us. The night is coming, and then no one can work.  5 But while I am here in the world, I am the light of the world.” 

LIGHT

Jesus brings light into our lives.  He gives us the hope we need to maintain our faith in the midst of this sinful generation.  Jesus is Lord.  

4/23            Hebrews 11:27

27 It was by faith that Moses left the land of Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger. He kept right on going because he kept his eyes on the one who is invisible. 

EYES

Keep your eyes upon Jesus.  Keep focused every day, every hour and you will have the power and strength you need to maintain your equilibrium and grow in Christ.  

4/22            Mark 16:12-13

12 Afterward he appeared in a different form to two of his followers who were walking from Jerusalem into the country. 13 They rushed back to tell the others, but no one believed them. 

ALL OVER

More than 500 people connected with Jesus after His death, burial and resurrection.  It happened all over Israel, in the open and so many people that it would be impossible for them to have made this up.  Jesus is alive.

4/21        1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves.  17 Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. 

COMING
Jesus is coming soon.  He is coming back to take us home with Him.  He is coming in the blink of an eye.  He is coming soon.  

4/20        Psalm 29:10-11

10 The LORD rules over the floodwaters. The LORD reigns as king forever.  11 The LORD gives his people strength. The LORD blesses them with peace.

REIGNS

The Lord reigns.  Not because of something we do but because He is Lord and He has always reigned since He began everything.  Jesus.
