“I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like
the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of
Days, And they brought Him near before Him. Then to Him was given dominion and
glory and a kingdom, That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion, Which shall not pass away, And His
kingdom the one Which shall not be destroyed. - Daniel 7v13-14
Every time I
read an account like this in the Bible I get just that little nudge of
encouragement. Day after day we read all of the bad news. We see sin running
rampant and it seems like evil is in control. Horrible, almost unimaginable things
are going on all around us. It is difficult even to picture all the people of
the earth serving Him.
But it is
going to happen one day. Jesus will take
His rightful place as Supreme Sovereign as evil is vanquished and His holiness
is in control. All of this will be done and gone. The drug problem will be
solved. Violence against women and children will be over. There will be no more
betrayal and hatred. No more boys and girls will die in useless conflict. What
a day that will be! The whole world will serve Him instead of self.
That ought
to be enough to keep me going. We will have the victory in the end.
The whole
world will one day serve our Lord. We have the chance to get a head start on
serving Him.
Let’s get
busy!
