Day 259: Psalm 74, Proverbs 10:25-27, Revelations 15, Isaiah 13-14
Must I Empty-Handed Go?
In Isaiah 14:31-32, it says that no one will be alone in His appointed times. Believers and prebelievers alike have to be judged at His appointed times. The question is what will be our answer. For us believers, we can always have Jesus as our answer. Further to that, God expects us to be faithful and fruitful. As taught in Matthew 25:23-30, we long for the praise, "Well done, good and faithful servant" but dread to hear, "You wicked and lazy servant". In today's Proverbs, a lazy person is akin to vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes. Wow! Smoke and vinegar are surely a pain to us and hence, we must realise it would also be a pain to God. Let us therefore, rise up, have a good look at our talents God has given us and whether we have given our best and our all to God? Or “Must I go, and empty-handed?”Must I meet my Savior so?Not one soul with which to greet Him:Must I empty-handed go?"(hymn written by Charles Luther in 1877). https://twitter.com/EstherOngHC
