Podcast 18.5 Transcript
Welcome to Thursday Thoughts at Resonant 7, where we reflect on the reality of God and resolve to let it resound in our lives, repeatedly. Let’s think about this.
And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight,
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 ESV.
We long for the day to come when what we have hoped for is realized, what we have longed for is before our eyes. Faith becoming sight. Hasten that day Lord, but help us to be ready for it. Father, give us the conviction, hope, assurance and faith we need to get there.
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Revelation 6:14 ESV
At the opening of the sixth seal the day of the Lord’s wrath will have come. We long for this day for our souls are well, but woe to those whose souls are not. May we live in such a way that others join us resting in God. Ask the Spirit to show you how today?
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 ESV
As if the descending of the Lord, His cry of command, the voice of the archangel and the trumpet of God were not enough, can you imagine the dead in Christ rising first? That will be a sight that is impossible to imagine. Give thanks to God for the promise of resurrection life!
Even so, it is well with my soul.
He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! Revelation 22:20 ESV
Jesus thank You that it is well with my soul. Thank You for the promises and the warnings of the things of the end of this age. Thank You for declaring Your soon return. So be it! Help me to be ready as I wait for You to come and take us home with You forever. It is, and will be, well with my soul.
Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has come to your mind, or listen to what He is saying to you, then I will read our text once more, with the refrain.
And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
Take the mindfulness of God’s presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond. Until next time, Be Resonant.
