Be Truly Glad

1Peter1:4 (NLT) and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. 5 And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see. 6 So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while.

When the disciples returned to Jesus and told Him how even the demons were subject to them in His name, His response to them was, "Rejoice because your names are written down in Heaven."

It's exciting to see God work in miraculous ways, but what are you going to do when things get tough, when the miracles are delayed or refused. Regardless of our circumstances God is still God and He has given us the assurance that those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved. Their names are written down. Therefore we can truly be glad this day no matter our circumstances. He who is I AM is with us and is our God. He has a treasure in heaven for us that will never pass away.

Be Truly Glad!
