I just want to share this scripture :bible to encourage other Believers as it has me this morning. Revelation 3:10 "Because you have kept my command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown." One thing that stood out to me while reading this- this time- is that Jesus said to Believers, "I also will keep you from..." He is talking to true Believers who abide in Him and calls them "you" and then refers to another set of people who are the "those who dwell on the earth." It's just more and more clear to me that we will not be here for "the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test..." It's so comforting! Especially as we see things "revved up" as JD Farag said about the meaning of the word "quickly" in reference to Christ's coming. I'm much less worried than I probably have been my entire life...not out of being oblivious or ignoring the craziness in the world or out of easy personal circumstances (which isn't the case currently), but out of the peace of YHWH that is beyond understanding! Praise our Lord God Almighty, He is able to bless us with awareness of His presence and strengthen us by the fruit of joy from His Spirit within us no matter what happens as we trust in His loyalty and His promises and walk with Him one step at a time until we step right into His full presence and remain for all Eternity! :flyup: >Great word of encouragement!
