Our God promised us His presence and strength: Isaiah 41:10 — “Don’t be afraid, because I am with you. Don’t be intimidated; I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will support you with my victorious right hand.” Our God promised us provision: Philippians 4:19 — “My God will richly fill your every need in a glorious way through Christ Jesus.” Our God promised us protection: Psalm 91:4 — “He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge. His truth is your shield and armor.” Our God promised us His guidance: Psalm 32:8 ⸤The LORD says,⸥ “I will instruct you. I will teach you the way that you should go. I will advise you as my eyes watch over you. Our God promised us eternal life: John 3:16 — “God loved the world this way: He gave his only Son so that everyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life.” These promises are not abstract—they are meant to be claimed in prayer, endurance, and daily faith.
ALLOW THIS WORD OF GOD TO BE A GUIDE UNTO YOUR LIFE.
Briefly summarised, we may say there is a sevenfold outlook of blessing before the believer. 1. We shall “meet” Christ—1 Thess. 4:17, and that means, as the word “meet” suggests, we shall be caught up to meet Him in the air, and come back with Him to the earth. 2. We shall “see Him as He is” (1 John 3:2), not as He was in humiliation and death, but as He is in glory and incorruptibility. 3. We shall be received by Him—John 14:3, as He promised, “I will receive you to Myself,” which means He will take us to His heart. 4. We shall stand before Him that our life and service may be tested, and our conduct towards our fellow-believers scrutinised—Rom. 14:10; 1 Cor. 3:12–15; 9:5; 2 Cor. 5:10. 5. We shall be rewarded by Him, for when we stand before the judgment seat of Christ it is that each may have his praise from God—1 Cor. 4:5. 6. We shall be “like” Him in all the beauty of His manhood, and body of glory—1 John 3:2; Phil. 3:20, 21. 7. We shall be with Him, and have the joy of His companionship for ever—1 Thess. 4:17
