Promises!

When I read a promise like this in the bible I get excited! 

"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 NKJV

No matter what life throws at you we can be fully confident that we have a savior who is coming again and in a mighty way!!! Those who know him will be gathered together and taken to be with Him forever, eternally to a place of perfection! A place where suffering does not exist! I mean that is something to believe in and hope for! Look at this verse:

“Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” 1 Corinthians 15:51-52

And I love this from Revelation 3:10 "Because you have kept my command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world." 

Now that is a promise!!! If we can just hang in there and keep fighting the good fight the Lord will spare us in the end! If you are ready to just give in today I encourage you to think about the end of this life and where you want to be eternally. Our life is but a breath on this earth and compared to forever is so small! Healing and joy is a promise and one day we can have it forever!!!
