When Looking Beyond Today is Acceptable

Sabbath Devotional, September 30, 2023

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. (2) In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. (3) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” —John 14:1-3

In John 16:33, Jesus tells us that we will suffer many tribulations, but we should remain courageous because He has overcome and conquered every enemy in this world including death. Gather up your forces of faith. Do not let anyone or anything make you lose sight of Jesus’ promise of coming again. Instead of looking inward with regret and despair, look outward and upward in faith.

Do not allow the past to overshadow the present and your future belief of Jesus coming again. Every day, tell yourself, “Jesus is coming back for me.” Amen.

Prayer: God, we pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on our lives. Give us strength and direction as we navigate through this tough journey of life. We need your help to move forward in faith. We ask this prayer in the Matchless Name of Jesus, Amen.

It takes faith, trust, courage, and perseverance to serve God in today's unstable world. Yet, we are never alone. Pray every day and pray often. Study the Bible. The Scriptures are a Love Letter from God to those who accept Jesus as their personal Savior. You will receive comfort, knowledge, and wisdom from the Holy Spirit. "I have loved you with an everlasting love." Jeremiah 31:3. Be blessed in Jesus' name. Amen.
