Billy Graham's Daily Devotion

Encouragement

July 11, 2013

Looking for that blessed hope . . .
–Titus 2:13

One of the best ways to get rid of discouragement is to remember that Christ is coming again. The most thrilling, glorious truth in all the world is the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. When we look around and see pessimism on every side, we should remember the Bible is the only Book in the world that predicts the future. The Bible is more modern than tomorrow morning’s newspaper. The Bible accurately foretells the future, and it says that the consummation of all things shall be the coming again of Jesus Christ to this earth. If your life is dismal, depressed, and gloomy today, Christ can turn those dark clouds inside out. The sunlight of His love can still shine into the darkest part of your life.

Prayer for the day

Longing to see Your face, Christ Jesus, I rejoice in the anticipation of Your coming again!

Someone once said that they believe if you could pick the happiest, most exciting moment of your entire life and multiply it times one million. That's what every day in Heaven will be like in God's Holy presence .

"Two shall be in the field...one shall be taken and the other left. Two shall be on the rooftop...one shall be taken and the other left. Where, do you ask? Where the eagles are around the body, there they shall be."-Yeshua, Prophet, Priest and soon coming King

Bless You God for everything You do for me! When I get discouraged I will think about what God has done for me in the past, the prayers He has answered, the miracles He has bestowed on me and my family! I am very grateful and thankful for the little things in my life, for instance breathing, talking, walking, eyesight, hearing, the list can go on and on...

Rich says 7.11.2011, 08:49 a.m.

Thank you for today's message Lord. I humbly ask for your guidance and let that light of encouragement shine upon me. It has been a hard road.

Gerry says 7.11.2011, 08:06 a.m.

Christ will return at his Father's appointed time. No one including Christ himself knows the day. This is why it is so important to be ready at all times. Doing your best to live according to his word.
