Apart from Jesus, there is no peace—not within a human heart and not among human beings or nations. With Jesus, we can experience peace that surpasses our rational capacity and settles deep within (See Philippians 4:7). We are to seek and find this peace as we await the Lord’s return.
When the Lord comes, will he find you among those who love him and call him Savior and Lord?
When the Lord comes, will he find you doing what he has commanded you to do?
When the Lord comes, will he find you eager to see him?
When the Lord calls with a shout from heaven, will you instantly rise to be with him?
When the Lord appears in the clouds, will your heart rejoice with exceedingly great joy?
You have it within your grasp to positively answer these questions. How will you choose to respond to the Lord’s challenges upon your life?
The fact is, he is coming again!
~From "Life Principle 30," The Charles F. Stanley Life Principles Bible, by Pastor Charles Stanley, Intouch.org
