Very Scary Day---Sweet Promise!

2 Peter 3:12b-13 “That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with His promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.”


Lord You are so AWE-some in Your power and in Your righteousness.  You are the creator and will be the destroyer when the time comes when You know that no more want to join Your Kingdom.  Then they and thus earth and heavens that even now groan under the curse of sin that has grown and plagued them now for some 6-7000 years!  The destruction will be horrible and complete, but the new heaven and earth- the home of righteousness…without sin at all…WOW!

            Lord, Thank You for Your great and precious promises.  Without them we would have no hope!  Thank You for Your sacrifice on our behalf for without it we would have no hope.  Thank You for Your creativity and Your creation…yes, Lord, even the stink bugs, chiggers, snakes and spiders, and for Your promise that they will no longer be harmful or irritating in Your new earth…if You have them on it at all.

            Lord, You alone are holy and the Righteous Judge.  You have given us the Spirit to teach, guide, prompt into action, and to give us the words to say when He prompts us to speak to other believers or to bring one into the Kingdom through the door of grace and mercy!

Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
