THE LORD’S DAY

Early one Sunday morning I awoke from a peaceful night of rest and thought of what the apostle John said in Rev. 1:10, “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day...” and he went on to say what was revealed to him in the wonderful book of Revelation. While we receive no direct revelation from God today, there is no question but that we should be, like John, in the spirit on the Lord’s day.

This is a day given by God to us each week, when we can assemble with the saints before the throne of God in much the same manner that we will gather before His throne in eternity to worship Him forever.

We must spend time in meditation and prayer, that we may be ready to worship Him Who created us in His own image and likeness, a God of love Who has so many wonderful plans for us through all ternity. He has a plan for each one of us and wants us to yield ourselves as servants to obey Him, so He can shower His blessings on us. Don’t be concerned, a God Who is powerful enough to create the universe and hold it in place with all its intricacies, is powerful enough to take care of us. He knows what is best to provide for our happiness, and He knows that a day of worship like what we will be doing forever is good for us now. He sent His Son to live and die for us that we might know (1 Peter 2:21-25). What a wonderful inspiring day we have together with Him each Lord’s day! What a joy it will be to be with Him forever in the home He has prepared for us! Only those who prepare themselves through love and obedience to His will can know this joy (Titus 2:1-4). The closer we get to God the more wonderful He seems to us. He has so much more to offer us, now and in the hereafter, than Satan does, who tempts us to turn away from Him. Worship God with us this Lord’s day. Obey the Lord so that you can say with John, “He which testifieth these things saith, ‘Surely I come quickly, Amen. Even so, come Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you all. Amen.’” (Rev. 22:20-21)
