O HAPPY DAY!

SCRIPTURE
Revelation 21:2-4 [ESV] And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.
Revelation 21:2-4 [Message] I saw Holy Jerusalem, new-created, descending resplendent out of Heaven, as ready for God as a bride for her husband. 3 I heard a voice thunder from the Throne: “Look! Look! God has moved into the neighborhood, making his home with men and women! They’re his people, he’s their God. 4 He’ll wipe every tear from their eyes. Death is gone for good—tears gone, crying gone, pain gone—all the first order of things gone.”

OBSERVATION
Although I believe with all my heart that this passage of Scripture is speaking literally about the second coming.
There is in my spirit this sense that part of this Scripture has already been fulfilled.
He's moved into my neighborhood. He's my God! And I am His!
There's still tears, and crying, and pain from time to time.
But not without the realization that there will be a day when there isn't those things.
O HAPPY DAY! - Today and Tomorrow

APPLICATION
Live today knowing He is my God, and I am His child.

PRAYER
Father,
I eagerly look forward to the second coming of Your Son.
I exciting live in the thanksgiving of the first coming.
Christ in me, the Hope of Glory
Let's have a HAPPY DAY!
Be Glorified.
