Meditations of my Heart: "Light of the World, You Stepped Out Into ...

The Return of God in a Darkened World

In times of darkness and moral decay, the hope of God’s return shines as a beacon of light. Throughout history, humanity has faced periods of great turmoil, where evil seems to prevail, and righteousness appears to be a distant memory. Yet, the promise of God’s return offers solace and a reminder that light will ultimately triumph over darkness.

Scriptural Support

The Bible provides numerous passages that speak to God’s return and the restoration of righteousness. One such passage is found in Revelation 21:4-5: “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. He who was seated on the throne said, ‘I am making everything new!’”

Another powerful scripture is Matthew 24:30: “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.”

Moral Takeaways

  1. Hope in Adversity: Even in the darkest times, we must hold onto hope. God’s return signifies the end of suffering and the beginning of eternal peace.
  2. Righteous Living: Knowing that God will return encourages us to live righteously, striving to embody the values of love, compassion, and justice.
  3. Faith and Patience: The promise of God’s return teaches us to be patient and steadfast in our faith, trusting that God’s timing is perfect.

Story: The Light in the Darkness

In a world where darkness had taken over, people lived in fear and despair. The once vibrant cities were now shadows of their former selves, and kindness was a rare commodity. Amidst this chaos, a small group of believers held onto the promise of God’s return.

One night, as the darkness seemed to swallow the last remnants of hope, a brilliant light appeared in the sky. It was unlike anything anyone had ever seen. The believers knew that this was the sign they had been waiting for. They gathered together, praying and singing hymns of praise.

As the light grew brighter, it began to spread, illuminating the darkest corners of the world. People who had lost all hope felt a warmth in their hearts, and tears of joy streamed down their faces. The light was a reminder that God had not forgotten them.

In that moment, the world began to change. Acts of kindness became more frequent, and the darkness started to recede. The believers continued to share the message of God’s love and the promise of His return, inspiring others to live with hope and righteousness. Prayers indeed matter to our FATHER!

Prayer

“Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for the promise of Your return. In times of darkness, help us to hold onto hope and live righteously. Strengthen our faith and patience as we await Your glorious return. May Your light shine through us, bringing hope and love to those around us. Amen.”

Thought for the Day

“Even in the darkest times, the promise of God’s return reminds us that light will always triumph over darkness. Let us live with hope, faith, and love, knowing that God’s timing is perfect.”

I hope post from God’s Word His heart will bring you inspiration and comfort.  Have a Blessed day/night…

DEAR GOD: Your Words Of Comfort Are As Balm~

But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.

But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

Jude 1:17-20

As time marches on today in a world of darkness with evil demonic behavior being exhibited and increasing exponentially, it would do us well to concentrate on the Holy Word.

In Jude we are being earnestly forewarned of what will happen in the ‘end times’ and a vision of how and what will be transpiring. We are already witnessing ‘ungodly’ behavior on every level possible. We are seeing people ‘loving themselves’ and openly indulging in selfish acts of gratification. We are seeing a dismantling of common beliefs held for years unraveling before our very eyes. And families are being divided.

We are advised to then pray in the Spirit and uphold our beliefs and our inherent values that are earmarked by our faith, and behave accordingly. To stand on the Rock and the foundation of truth. To walk in the light and shun and rebuke all darkness and evil in Jesus’ name. We are to look to the mountains, from whence our help comes. And we are to stand in unity against aberrant behavior and applying the Word to all we do and say.

In this sense we are assured the viable and loving promises of the Word, and the protection of our Rock, and Holy One.

Hold on to your values and never lose sight that Christ is victorious, and He defeated death, gave us life, light and salvation to those of us who freely accept it.

I’ve read the end of the Bible, have you?

Christ wins!

Hallelujah!

He always does.

Amen!

“Father, may I continue to seek Your face and Word daily, in all I do and say, and may I walk in Your light, turn from the darkness, and applaud and praise You today, tomorrow and always, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
