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. 13:12.
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. 3:13).
Hope of our hearts, O Lord, appear,
Thou glorious Star of day!
Shine forth, and chase the dreary night,
With all our tears, away!
Sir ‘Edward Denny
