Wednesday – May 24th – Revelation 3:11 -----
3:11) Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.
The Daily Walk Bible inspirational thought for today:
WE MUST LEARN TO REGARD PEOPLE LESS IN THE LIGHT OF WHAT THEY DO OR FAIL TO DO AND MORE IN THE LIGHT OF WHAT THEY SUFFER.*
Welcome to Wednesday. Today on the SunRise church calendar is always one of my favorite days of the year. Why, may you ask? Great question - today is our annual SunRise Preschool graduation. The SunRise Preschool has been around almost as long as there has been a SunRise building. Over the nearly three decades of operation thousands of young boys and girls have started their educational careers in our building. We are unapologetic in our focus on presenting a Christian based curriculum as part of our daily activities. I recently chatted with 2005 SunRise Preschool alumni who shared with me that some of his fondest memories of his childhood were from his days at SunRise Preschool. Say a prayer today for those young children who will be taking a next step in their life’s journey and say a prayer of thanksgiving that their parents chose to include a little Jesus along with their learning to count.
In our pick verse today, Jesus continues his straightforward encouragement of the believers in the church at Philadelphia. Jesus’ words to be ready because His return is coming quickly, should not be taken as a way to write a date on our calendars. We are to be ready for His return if it happens before you finish reading this blog, or if it is weeks, months, years, or decades in the future. It is more important to focus on keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus than spending our time gazing into the sky looking for the clouds to part and to listen for the trumpet to blow. While we are distracted with “end of the time” signs, the devil will try to swop in and seed doubt in our minds concern the truth of God’s promise to us. Heed the words of Jesus in this verse by letting no one take your crown of eternal life.
Blessings
