THE SOUND OF LOVE

 

"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."

 

1 Corinthians 15:52
King James Version

 

Bill and Gloria Gaither wrote the beautiful inspiring hymn "The King is Coming".  Are you ready to meet Jesus if He should come back while you are reading this devotion?

 

"The marketplace is empty, No more traffic in the streets, All the builders' tools are silent, No more time to harvest wheat, Busy housewives cease their labors, In the courtroom no debate, Work on earth is all suspended As the King comes thro' the gate.

 

O the King is coming, The King is coming! I just heard the trumpets sounding, And now His face I see, O the King is coming, The King is coming! Praise God, He's coming for me!

 

Happy faces line the hallways, Those whose lives have been redeemed, Broken homes that He has mended, Those from prison He has freed, Little children and the aged Hand in hand stand all aglow, Who were crippled, broken, ruined, Clad in garments white as snow.

 

I can hear the chariots rumble, I can see the marching throng, The flurry of God's trumpets Spells the end of sin and wrong: Regal robes are now unfolding, Heaven's grandstand's all in place, Heaven's choir now assembled, Start to sing "Amazing Grace!"

 

O the King is coming, The King is coming! I just heard the trumpets sounding, And now His face I see, O the King is coming, The King is coming! Praise God, He's coming for me!"

 

I was asked to leave a choir one time because I was told I was singing off key and it broke my heart.  One day I will sing in Heaven's choir.  What a day of happiness and joy it will be when I am singing to Jesus.

 

I love You so much dear Jesus.  Thank You for everything You have done for me especially for never leaving me.  I am going to give You a big hug and spend eternity telling You how wonderful You are and how much I love You.
