Each day, we stand between the past and the future. In our prayers, we
call upon God to "remember" (Nehemiah 13:14,22,29,31). There are two
different kinds of 'remembering' here. God remembers his faithful
servants. He also remembers those who have been unfaithful. As we face
the future, we must be guided by both the Gospel invitation and the
Gospel warning (Revelation 22:17-19). Salvation is offered to all. It is
to be received by faith in Christ. There is also judgment for those
who refuse to "come" to Him. Whatever our reaction to Him may be,
God maintains His saving intention. He waits patiently for us to heed
the call to "praise the Lord" (Psalm 150:1,6). "Let everything that has
breath praise the Lord" (Psalm 150:6).
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you" (Isaiah 60:1). * Let the light of Christ shine. * Let the words of Scripture lead to thoughts of the Saviour. * In Christ, we are called to salvation, sanctification and service. * Be wise – worship the Saviour. Is 60:1-6; Ps 72:1-7,10-14; Eph 3:1-12; Mt 2:1-12
