Bible Verse of The Day – 7-28-21

Revelation 22:20 (NKJV) 20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Those 5 words are my absolute favorites in the entirety of God’s word.

Ever since reading them for the very first time back in the mid 1980s, they have stuck with me like glue.

I had been laid off from my job and was spending massive amounts of time devouring the Word every night at bedtime, until the wee hours of the morning, with my little reading lamp clipped to my Bible.

I remember reading through the book of Revelation and being in total awe at what was in there; such incredible, jaw-dropping imagery of things to come.

And I remember not only being in awe, but being somewhat terrified by some of it at first. It is, after all, pretty serious stuff that will cause the faint of heart to run away.

But God led me through it, teaching me along the way, showing me His power, His grace, His mercy and His faithfulness, and showing me that if we follow Him closely and trust Him, it will all be good in the end.

And then, at the very end of the book, there were those 5 words; even so, come, Lord Jesus.

My heart was strengthened by them. And I remember thinking, “God, you are truly mighty and incredible. Yes, Lord, come quickly”.

That was roughly 35 years ago. And today, as we watch the world go through birth pangs, and the end times creep closer and closer, those 5 words echo in my mind almost daily. And sometimes even multiple times each day.

There is still much work to be done here. It is not time to sit back and rest. So, we encourage you to continue to press in to God like never before.

Devour His word. Let Him speak to you through it like never before. Stick to Him like glue. Let nothing come between you and Him. Nothing.

And as we do battle in the spirit, rest only in those 5 words; even so, come, Lord Jesus.
