DAY 358 Read Revelation 4 through 7.
Today's reading: As John views the glories around the throne of God, his attention is called to a book "sealed with seven seals." The opening of each seal produces an impressive scene.
Thought for today:
We are living down in the latter days of the sixth seal. Soon will come the trump of God, the shout of our Redeemer, the voice of the archangel which awakens the dead. Those of us who are asleep in death will be raised to glorious immortality, and those who are living will "be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye" (1 Corinthians 15:51, 52). Then we shall all go home, "and so shall we ever be with the Lord" (1 Thessalonians 4:17).
Remember, we are now living just before the mountains begin to tremble, the islands to move; just before the heavens depart as a scroll when it is rolled together; just before the great prayer meeting when unbelievers pray to rocks and mountains to hide them. Now, in this wonderful hour, it is our privilege to give our hearts to Christ, to give Him our lives, and to serve Him faithfully. Now is the time to walk with Him every day. Now is the time to pray that God will make preachers out of some of the young men who are studying His Word today--great preachers, greater than the world has ever yet heard. If we are but willing, He will take men from the bench, from the office, from the trucks, from the fields, from everywhere--and women too. He will make us all into workers for Him and use us where we are in the worldwide preaching of the gospel such as the world has never seen.
Will you not let God have your heart now? Will you not let Him use you in some way to spread the gospel message of hope and blessing to earth's remotest bounds, thereby hastening the glorious coming of Christ to take us home? May God help us all to be ready for the wonderful days just ahead.
