Whirlwind Affair

I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth? Luke 18:8 NIV

Have you ever fallen in love with someone at first glance? Or have you engrossed yourself in a relationship with so much energy that it teeters on chaos and confusion? This is the kind of rush people can feel once the Holy Spirit intervenes. God has this spontaneous obsession, and patient expectation for His children simultaneously. Much like true loves with distance between them God’s love is both energized and calmly observing. He often will allow His own child feel His presence and encourage them to wait on him. This is what the verse atop this page sounds like to me.

Jesus walked in humility and purpose before He was crucified. After the crucifixion Jesus ascended and is in a glorified body. He longs to show us Himself much like a groom longs show himself to his bride during the wait before the wedding nuptials. Can’t you see Him? Seated on the Throne of Heaven, observing His bride with eager expectation. He is wanting everything to be just right for the wedding. Jesus love language is faith in Him. The wedding will be grand! However, in order to please Him we have to exercise faith. How? Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding: Proverbs 3:5 NIV And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:6

How do we seek such a great God, who is owner of the universe? The bible is full of stories of people who did seek him and honored him. They trusted him and were interacting with the King of Kings. We also must look to our King and find the victory in Him. Pray saints, and keep your Holy expectation on His immanent return. His loving eyes are on you. Declare, He will find faith on the earth upon his return. His love is unstoppable, and yet patiently waiting for all to receive. His commandment to fellowship with him in prayer and in faithful service to Him sets the right atmosphere for the wedding banquet of the Jesus,(Rev. 19:9), Amen.

Be found in faith, because no one knows when Jesus will return.

Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come.

Mark 13:33 NIV
