How To Escape The Fire!
"Because you have kept My command
to persevere, I also will keep you from
the hour of trial which shall come upon
the whole
world."
Revelation 3: 10
Years ago when an offshore oil platform
in North Sea caught fire, flames swept
over the rig, and workers thought they
were doomed.
Just in the nick of time, however, a
fleet of Scottish helicopters arrived,
and all 130 workers were rescued.
We usually thank God for the blessings
He gives, but we must also praise Him for
escapes He provides. Take, for example,
the period of the Tribulation.
If, as we believe, the Church of the Lord
Jesus will be raptured prior to the time of
God’s wrath, why do we study Revelation
6–18, which describe Tribulation events?
Because they show us how thankful
we
must be for what we’re missing!
Today thank the Lord for His oversight,
His protection, and
even for the blessings
of unanswered prayer. As Christians, we
must be thankful for what God has given
us by His grace and also for what He
withholds by His mercy.
"God’s mercy and grace
give me hope for myself
and for our world."
Billy Graham
