All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation and we have a priceless inheritance---an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see. 1 Peter 1:3-5 NLT
Michael C. and I have been counting the days and it is finally here...vacation! We have a time share condo for the 26th week of the year at Daytona Beach where we enjoy friends, fun, sun, and food (lots of food). We are packed and ready to go. We have paid our fees and trust that this week has been saved just for us at Marine Terrace.
We're looking forward with even more anticipation to a vacation that some rarely think about. Our dues have been paid and we trust that a place has been reserved and saved just for us. It's a place that hurricanes can't touch and rust and decay can't destroy. This time share has a beginning date but lasts much longer than one week. Well...it lasts forever!
It not only lasts forever but it's beautiful beyond imagination. The King of that land bought the place for us and all we had to do was believe it. Now we just wait eagerly for that last day when we get to go to that primo destination spot...heaven.
Yes, heaven. The place where King Jesus, who bought our spot for us with His blood, reigns and lives. Heaven...a place where we will live and love forever. O, and food, there will be lots of food, actually there will be a feast of food.
The day of our expectation has arrived---Daytona Beach here we come! And...perhaps, the day of our Great Expectation, the hope of heaven, will be today. For that day is coming soon. Come, Lord Jesus, come!
To God be the Glory! Amen.
