Our Day is Coming!
One day, God told Noah that it was time to actually get into the ark – the vessel that Noah had labored to build for around one hundred years, while the world around him ridiculed him and continued in their luxurious living, paying no heed to the warning of an unseen God. One day, before the rain started, the Lord spoke to His faithful servant and told him to get safely tucked into that ark. God was going to finally reward Noah for His tireless work through so many opposing circumstances, and for his faith in the promised end, though the sight was yet unseen.
The Bible declares that one day, after we arrive in Heaven, God will wipe all the tears from our faces, and He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth. That means that one day, we will never again be scorned for our faithfulness to an unseen God and His Word. Our sorrows will all be over, and our cause will have proved real and right, despite how very few believed us during our time of labor on earth. Our investment into God’s kingdom will finally be rewarded, though we had formerly watched the world around us build their earthly kingdoms without much thought for eternity. The sorrows of the mocking unbelievers will just begin at the return of our Savior.
Hold on, faithful servant of God. Stay in the Word, dig deeply into the promises of both the Old and New Testaments. The Lord is wanting to encourage you to continue believing – to continue walking with Him – no matter how difficult it is right now. Our day, thank Jesus, is coming!
