Christians are comforted to know that when the Lord returns to wrap things up, we will be “caught up” to meet the Lord in the air.  We who are alive will actually meet those who have died “in the clouds” and forever after be with the Lord.  Encouraging words.

It’s so easy to get depressed when we see troubling circumstances around us.  In those moments, we are encouraged to look up, for our redemption is getting closer.

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, we trust in Your plan to deliver us from all evil and the tragedy that awaits those who reject You.  Give us a heart of compassion to share the Gospel with unbelievers.

DAILY READING:  1 Chron. 7,8;  1 Thess. 4,5
