BIBLE MEDITATION:
But unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings. . . Malachi 4:2a
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Since Jesus is the S-O-N of God, He is also the S-U-N of righteousness. Let me tell you something about the sunrise. Sunrise never comes ahead of time, and it is never late. Isn’t that right? The sunrise operates according to the power of God and the authority of God. You can’t hurry it up, and you can’t stop it!
It is the same with the Second Coming of Jesus. He is coming at a time known only to God. You can’t hurry it up and you can’t stop it.
One day the Lord Jesus Christ shall come with trumpet sound. He will pull back the shade of night and pin it with a star. Then He’ll open the door of the glorious morning of His millennial reign and flood the world with light.
ACTION POINT:
Tomorrow morning, get up with the sunrise and praise God that His timing is perfect—and that He is coming again!
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
