"I watched till thrones were put in place, and the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, Its wheels a burning fire; a fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him. A thousand thousands ministered to Him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.” Daniel 7:9-10
“Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.” Revelation 20:11-12
And the books were opened…………
How will your life story read when the books are opened? The years, months and days of your life, how are they being spent? The efforts of your days, are they purposeful, are they God ordered, God ordained? Which book will hold your story, is it the Lamb’s Book of Life or another?
For those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Corinthians 3:13 states that each man’s (woman’s) story will be revealed, ‘for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire’. It goes on to say that His (the Lord’s) fire will test the quality of our life, the quality of our story. As the chapters of your life are read, will He receive glory or will the words burn from the page?
Today is your opportunity to prepare for the Day. Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'" Matthew 7:21-23
Dear Loved One, let your story be one of triumph! Believe fully on the one who has saved you, the One who deeply loves you! Submit yourself fully to Him! Be filled with His Spirit! Trust in Him! Seek Him! Obey Him! Be guided by Him, moment by moment….day by day. He’s the only one Who issues happy endings!
Here’s the promise –
“ He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.” Revelation 3:5
Be blessed!
And behold, One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near before Him. Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, Which shall not pass away, And His kingdom the one Which shall not be destroyed. Daniel 7:13-14
