Chronicles of Grace

THE PERFECT ENDING!

I read a quote in Streams yesterday that goes something like this, "Jesus Christ isn't my security against the storms of life, but my perfect security in the storms. He doesn't promise an easy passage, only a safe landing!" After thinking about that for a while, it occurred to me that many situations we face wouldn't be nearly as stressful if we knew ahead of time how they would turn out. For instance, when you are on a plane and the weather gets bad and the plane begins rocking, you could be so much more at ease if you knew for certain that you would land safely ahead of time. Or, when I am watching one of my daughter's soccer games and we are down 2 to 1 I could be still and calm so much more easily if I knew ahead of time they would win.

Well, that is exactly the guarantee that we have about our very life and how it all ends! So, we should be at ease because we already know ahead of time that we are going to have the perfect ending! Not only is He our perfect security in the storms, but Revelation 19:11 says it this way...."I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True...and on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, "King of Kings, and Lord of Lords!" WOW!! Talk about a perfect ending!!

I love you!
