About victory that is at hand…
Nehemiah 6:15 So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in
fifty-two days. 16 When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding
nations were afraid and lost their self-confidence, because they realized that
this work had been done with the help of our God. (NIV)
Defeat looks certain. The darkness looms over the horizon and no light seems
to penetrate the doom. The world and your life can sometimes be a grim place.
However, victory is at hand. The victory is yours. For even when you get old,
gray, and feeble, there awaits for you a new life and a new place to live. Your
new place to live is Heaven. Because you have Heaven waiting, you can have a
life full of hope when hope seems gone. Christ came to give you a message, a
vision, and a hope for eternal life. Christ came and surrendered up His own life
so you could have life eternal. What we sometimes miss is the power of His love
in the darkness and doom of this life. Your life is never over. You may die in
the body, but who you are as an energized and living soul, remains alive after
you die. Where you go in your life after your body quits working here on earth
is based upon decisions you make now. If you choose the way and teachings of
Christ, you have a new life just ahead of you. No matter how hopeless or
fruitless things seem now, your future is bright and gleaming. The beaming love
and powerful healing touch of Christ reaches your heart if you will open up to
Him. Your new life in the future starts now. Your new life full of promise, full
of meaning, full of purpose, full of an overwhelming mission starts now. In
Christ, there is no end. In Christ, there is only a beginning.
