Contained But Not Extinguished Do you long for the day when Jesus would set things right? When our world is rocked by tragic events and evil acts, we long for the day when evil will finally be destroyed and God will bring history to a close and fully establish His kingdom. Until that time, however, the Lord gives us His grace to live purposeful lives of faith as we await His coming. In Hebrews 10, we are urged to draw near to God with sincere hearts (v.22); hold fast to the hope we profess (v.23); spur each other on to love and good works (v.24); and continue meeting together for encouragement “and so much the more as you see the Day approaching” (v.25). Until the time God extinguishes the fires of evil forever, He gives us His grace and strength to endure the trials of life as we look forward to His return. Dear Lord, thank You for the grace You give us to live each day for Your glory. We look forward to the day when You return, all evil will be extinguished, and we will live with You in perfect harmony forever. amen. Jesus is coming—perhaps today! READ: Hebrews 10:19-39
