December 22 An Assured Destiny
Scripture reading: Revelation 9:11–21
Key verse: Revelation 9:11
They had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.
William Bradbury’s song, “The Solid Rock,” underscores the faith and hope we have in Jesus Christ:
My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
When darkness veils his lovely face, I rest on his unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil.
When he shall come with trumpet sound, O may I then in him be found.
Dressed in his righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne.
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
Our world is one of turmoil and grief. And if we’re not careful, we will begin to wonder whether God has forgotten His promises to us, but He never does. He knows us perfectly and is preparing us for that glorious day when He will return and gather us unto Himself.
The other part of His return is His triumph over the Beast and the False Prophet (Rev. 19). Revelation makes it clear that the victory belongs to Jesus Christ, and we should never be discouraged by the sorrows of the world.
The surest place to be found is in the care of God’s Son. He is not only your future hope; He is also your present help in every situation. He is your solid Rock.
You are with me today. I am at peace. Thank You, Father.
