Bible Verse of The Day – 10-1-21

Matthew 24:14 (NKJV) 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

Over the last 12 years I have watched current events unfold with an ever-increasing awareness, keeping an eye on where they fall in relationship to scripture.

I am not a scholar of Bible prophecies. Nor do I claim to be a prophet. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

But I am a student of the Bible, ever learning and ever growing in my knowledge and understanding of God’s word.

What I have witnessed tells me that we are inching oh so close to the fulfillment of the verse above.

I used to think that we were still 100 years or so away from that day. But technology has made it possible for the gospel to reach areas without stepping foot there. The world has become smaller during the last 50 years or less.

The devotional you’re reading right now is proof of that. We have likely never met face to face. Yet, tens of thousands of people read these messages every day, all across the globe. See what I mean?

Over the last 15 years, everything has accelerated. Things are moving at a rapid pace, hurdling quickly toward “that day”. And the pace seems to quicken at an alarming rate as each month goes by.

We are not writing this to claim that we know the day. We don’t. No one does.

But we see the signs. They are everywhere.

We are writing this to encourage everyone to draw near to God. He is our only hope. He is the only one worthy to be worshipped. And He is the one who holds our destiny in His hands.

So, set your eyes upon Him and Him alone. Worship no man. Look to no man. And stay grounded in His word.

Stay sharp. Stay alert. Stay vigilant.

And let the Holy Spirit teach you how to discern everything you see and hear.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 (NKJV) 5 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.
