Daniel 7-8, Isaiah 26, 2 Corinthians 6:11-18, 7
What God said to me – If you’ve ever been in a small town where a freight train comes barreling through, very few people look forward to the time they know it’s coming. It’s loud – it rattles the windows and disrupts traffic – it’s dangerous to those who try to hurry and try to beat it across the tracks – it’s always so long and even though they know it’s coming, a lot of people get stuck because they didn’t plan ahead or take care of the things they needed to do ahead of time. My judgment is going to be like that for most people – it’s going to catch them by surprise because they waited too long and are not prepared or it’ll barrel over them and smash them. The people who are most excited to see the train are the children of the engineer. They know the sight of the train means they’ll soon be at home with their father. So, as you see the fires and the floods and the earthquakes and the wars, don’t be afraid because the One you have eagerly awaited is about to arrive and you’ll be home with Him. Keep your heart and mind fixed on this promise and I will keep you in perfect peace.
