April 11: TOGETHER WITH THE LORD

The Apostle Paul reminds us we do not work alone. Furthermore, we do not work for the Lord. We labor together with Him. We dare not forget that anything we accomplish we do with the ability God gives us. As I have stated before, God has no Lone Rangers. We must work together to build His kingdom. And all we do is through His strength.

For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building. (1 Corinthians 3:9 NIV)

Not only do we labor together with the Lord, one day soon we will join together with Him. This is the day our fathers longed for, the day many died for, the day you and I wait for.

in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. (1 Corinthians 15:52 NIV)

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 NIV)

That final trumpet is the one I am waiting for. Our Lord will return for all of us who are waiting for the sound of that last trumpet. Regardless of where we are or what we are doing when we hear the trumpet, we will rush toward the Eastern Gate where we will meet with our Lord in the air.

Then we will be with Our Lord throughout eternity. We will never need another trumpet call, because we will never leave Him. And He will never leave us. We will have the greatest privilege ever afforded humankind. We will live and reign with our Savior and Lord forever.

Therefore encourage each other with these words. (1 Thessalonians 4:18 NIV)
