Revelation 22:12 - "And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work."
Thank you for joining us on this 40-day journey. Today is our last day. God has accomplished so much during this time. We have seen more than 60 people trust Jesus Christ since we started. God is on the move. More than 600 of you have followed these devotions and prayer requests. Our God will continue to write the story of renewal this year.
The Lord will reward us openly when He comes in the glory of the Father with the holy angels. He will bring the reward with Him. He is pleased when we pray and serve Him. Our works do follow us into eternity.
Brian Larson told a story about the 1987 NCAA Regional basketball Finals: “LSU was leading Indiana by eight points with only a few minutes left in the game. As is often the case with a team in the lead, LSU began playing a different ball game. The television announcer pointed out that the LSU players were beginning to watch the clock rather than wholeheartedly play the game. As a result of this shift in focus, Indiana closed the gap, won the game by one point, and eventually went on to become NCAA champions.”
Larson concluded: “While Jesus called us to be aware of "the signs of the times," he clearly called us to expend our energies in faithful, active service. As we await Jesus' promised return, we are not so much to watch the clock as to be diligent servants during the time we have available.”
May He find us faithful when He comes. Even so, come Lord Jesus.
