Thoughts for another day

May 22, 2014.

Today's verse:  Job 31:14. What then shall I do when God rises up [to judge]? When He visits [to inquire of me], what shall I answer Him? (Amplified – copy. ack.)

(Pls. read the above before you read further.  Thanks)

I have said many times before that there will be the Day of Judgment when each person will stand before the throne of God and in that single most, dread-filling moment, will have to answer for all he or she has done in his or her life and which hasn’t been right in the sight of God.  Every action will be called to account and not only that, every word that we speak (and we know how much gibberish we spew out and how much criticism and hate we belch); will be called to account; Jesus Himself said this, Mt. 12:36, ‘But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.’

The very thought should fill our heart with fear, not the kind of fear leading to despair, for the Blood of Christ is still available and acceptable before the Father.  But surely our stupid words and deeds should and must fill us with dread and remorse while we’re here and we have time to reconcile with the Father of lights with the Lamb’s Blood upon us, and then live our new lives in accord with His will.  Many don’t realise that there’s going to be a judgment day.  Some are just not concerned about the after-life thinking as if with their death everything ends.  But it is not so…there is an eternal life; the Bible tells us so and it’s also apparent from various visions and experiences, men and women across the globe had in their lives, of life after death and have lived to tell it.

It’s very clear the soul will leave the body, that soul being you, and journey toward the place it is to live forever.   The place is, with God or without God; all depends on whether you’ve accepted Christ or not and the kind of life you lived.  That there’s a judgment is for sure for the Bible speaks clearly about it.  Therefore, isn’t it time to rise and tell yourself ‘the old has passed and the new has come’ and embrace the new that is the Blood of Christ and allow it to wash your sins. Then receive the new garments from the beloved Lamb of God and live in joy in Him; to cherish Him in eternal dwellings, not worrying about the Day of judgment, for at that time, in that place as you stand before the Throne, there will be the Lamb standing by you, your Advocate before the Father and when the Lamb’s light shines on you, the Father will only say, Welcome to My Kingdom, My child.’
