Podcast 42.4 Transcript, 10.4 REPLAYED
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.
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
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
The day is coming when Christ returns. Can you imagine it? The trumpet resounds and the Lord descends with archangel announcing it all. Are you longing for it? Ask God to stir your heart to long for it even as you echo the prayer, “Come quickly, Lord Jesus!”
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:17 ESV
What a comfort that when this happens we have a place. Our Lord will call us to join Him in the air. Are you ready to fly? I can hardly fathom how overwhelming this will be. He returns and then calls us to HImself, where we will spend eternity. Thank Him for giving us this hope.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, Hebrews 12:28 ESV
Bowing in humble adoration, with reverence and awe, we will express our gratitude to Christ for the inheritance that is ours. A kingdom that cannot be shaken. Unlike the kingdoms of this world, this one is eternal, and we get to live in it. Worship Him now, and forever!
And then proclaim: “My God, how great Thou art!”
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness. Psalm 29:2 ESV
Oh how we will praise Him on that day! It will be worship in His glorious holy presence. As we look forward to and long for those moments of praise, determine to praise Him even while you wait. He is just as worthy now so instruct your soul to sing of His greatness today.
Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has surfaced in your heart, or just listen to what He is saying to you, then we will sing once more.
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: “My God, how great Thou art!”
Take the mindfulness of God’s presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond. Until next time,
Be Resonant.
