Friends- God is calling our eyes to the skies in this season. It's kind of like a soldier that is deployed- the wife and family know there is a season of return, although sometimes when the soldier comes back, it's a surprise. When my husband deployed after we went to war, in 2003, he did not know the day he would come back. After 1 month, I knew I had awhile to go. After 3 months, I estimated maybe we are half way there. At 6 months, I was carrying my phone ready for the call every day with loving anticipation. This was before the days of Skype, FaceTime and webcams... it was still the "olden" email and flip phone days. I saw the other soldiers returning from my husband's unit, which were sure signs that he would be next. In the 7th month, I just knew it would be any day. I went to get my hair done, decorated the house, bought new clothes, and stayed on alert. I even told my boss at work, I might have to leave "suddenly" when the call comes. I will never forget the day the phone rang, and my husband called to say he had already departed the country of Oman and was already in Baltimore. He didn't want to let me know sooner in case he was delayed and got my hopes up. He said by the next morning he would be home to me and my daughter!! God reminded me of this as His universe reveals to us glorious displays in the moon, sun and stars. They are being sent ahead, to lift our eyes up to the sky, and see Him coming soon...and to prepare to be recognized as His child, by professing the name of Jesus Christ aloud and inviting Him into your heart, and into your life. Jesus is revealing and unsealing truths today that were prophesied centuries ago to come at an appointed time.
He said when you see these things happening.."I am coming soon. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one will take your crown." (Rev 3:11). "The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard." (Psalm 19:2-3)
I pray you take a few moments this weekend and look up, and say a prayer to Him- don't put it off this time... you hear His call on your heart. Not sure how or where to start? I recommend starting with the Gospel of John. It will bless you immensely!
