The other day I was on my way to church and I noted something amazing, something I hadn't seen in over a week. It was the sun. Warm rays flooded the frosty land and began to melt the white. Every, life was coming back. Trees, grass and plants of all types, like magic, emerged from the snow like waking from a long slumber. And then I saw Jesus.
There, coming out of the snow, was a nativity scene, buried in a blizzard and forgot.... but not lost. Just beneath the surface, the Nativity waited for the right time to return.
Luke 12:35-48 (The Message)
"Keep your shirts on; keep the lights on! Be like house servants waiting for their master to come back from his honeymoon, awake and ready to open the door when he arrives and knocks. Lucky the servants whom the master finds on watch! He'll put on an apron, sit them at the table, and serve them a meal, sharing his wedding feast with them. It doesn't matter what time of the night he arrives; they're awake—and so blessed!
I'm waiting... and I know its coming. A thaw is coming, not just for my own soul, but for this whole world. The Kingdom come. His Kingdom... its coming. Not just in a far-off, cloudy heaven. His Kingdom is coming HERE... to this earth. The LORD will stretch his loving arms and melt away all that is frozen. Flowers and trees crying out of His majesty.
The Thaw is coming. Be ready.
