The Day Is at Hand

God has not been pleased to tell us when the greatest of all days open—the turning point in the history of man and the earth; but we hear the Holy Spirit’s words: “The night is far spent, and the day is at hand.” Rom. 13:1212The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. (Romans 13:12).
Politicians may promise there people “a new and better world” and they may be quite sincere in what they say, but the true remedy for all the ills of creation is in the hands of the Lord Jesus Christ. When He shines forth in glory, and all His saints with Him (all sinners saved by grace), Satan’s malign rule over men will end the will of God will be done on earth as it is done in heaven. In the light of “the day,” which will bring recompense and honor to all how served loyally now, let us watch our steps and labor with godly care, “for the day will declare” what manner of servants we have been here for God (1 Cor. 3:1313Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. (1 Corinthians 3:13)).
Hope of our hearts, O Lord, appear,
Thou glorious Star of day!
Shine forth, and chase the dreary night,
With all our tears, away!
