God's original purpose for this world was that it be filled with true love, joy and beauty. Satan has tried his best to thwart God's plan, by leading human beings astray. But his reign of deception, coercion and terror on this earth is nearly ended. Soon our world will be cleansed of the curse of sin, and will become forever, not only the home of the redeemed, but the very place where God's throne will be located! How will this happen? Our song for today points us to this glorious time.

At the very close of Earth’s history, Jesus will finish His work in the heavenly sanctuary. This marks the beginning of what the Bible calls the “Time of Trouble”, a time on the verge of which, we are even now living. How can we be prepared to stand during this time? Our hymn for today tells us.

Jesus calls us—He calls you, He calls me—to follow Him. His call is still sounding today; in fact, today, at this time in Earth’s history, His final call is going out to a dying world. How can we, in the words of the apostle Peter, make our calling and election sure? Our hymn for today tells us.

As we draw ever closer to the end of time, the end of this world as we know it, we are more and more in need of God’s guidance and protection. There are many warnings in the Bible about the deceptions that will exist at this time in earth’s history. How can we be sure that we have a shelter in the time of storm?

All Christians believe in the Christ of history who died on the cross. Millions today believe in the Christ of the future who is coming in glory on the clouds of heaven. But what about the Christ of today? Where is He, and what is He doing?

For the Christian, prayer is the breath of the soul; it is pouring out the heart to God, and knowing that He will see us, hear us, and help us. Today we explore this vital topic more deeply, and its meaning in the Reformation, with the lovely hymn Sitting at the Feet of Jesus.
