This Could Be the Day!!!

... Brother, sister, time is short now; 
     Serve in love, live by faith,
For the things of earth are passing,
     This could be the day!

This could be the day that the Lord returns in glory.
This could be the day that He calls His children home,
So be faithful in service as you watch and pray,
For this, oh this, this could be the day!!!

- Steve Amerson & Lowell Alexander

What a glorious thought! All sorrows over; all worries left behind. I cannot even fathom the wonders that await believers on that blessed day. Face to face with Christ my Savior... That will be glory for me!

Today, I want to focus on the promise from Christ that He is preparing a place for me. So often I find myself distracted by the mundane. My eyes stray from the One and linger on the world. I desire to live in the reality that this could be the day. Do I really believe that? If so, that simple truth would revolutionize the way I spend the next moment, the next hour, the next twenty-four hours.

Lord, help me to stay the course. Help me to live joyfully, knowing that You are returning for me! Help me to be faithful! Help me to serve others in love and share You. Keep me from holding tightly to the things of this world for they are passing. Come quickly, Lord. Let this be the day!
