The day of the Lord will be cruel and a day of fury and burning anger, this day will come as a thief in the night. It will be a time when the lights in the heavens will be greatly disturbed and the world will be visited with judgment. It will be a day of clouds, darkness and gloom, a great and awesome day that no one can endure. In Isaiah 13 v 11, God says “I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their iniquity’ I will halt the arrogance of the proud, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible”. Zeph. 1 v18 “Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord’s wrath”.
Therefore, since we know that this day is coming as children of God – sons of light and sons of the day – let us be alert, sober, watching and praying, have nothing to do with darkness or the works of darkness (Flesh). For God did not appoint us to wrath but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.
May we be found wise and in peace on that day in Jesus name. Amen.
The Vicar-
