A new decade! We can all be glad! Time is our friend!
“Our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed” (Ro. 13:11).
Every second that ticks off brings you closer to the solutions to your problems, to the coming of Jesus, to “the renewal of all things” (Mt. 19:28). Every second is a brand new bridge over which you cross to His culmination, His glory. They’re God’s beautiful gifts coming and coming, regularly, evenly, on schedule, and bursting with His stupendous promises – and every promise on the verge of being fulfilled.
Listen – it’s first earth, then heaven; first Old Testament, then New; first law, then grace; He makes the best wine last: that’s His style.
Now you’re finished reading this letter. It’s later than when you started reading it. Be glad!
