ANCHORS OF HOPE
DAY THIRTY ONE
READ REVELATION 21:1-5
"Behold , I make all things new" (Revelation 21:5).
Night descends. Death and decay are rampant. This old world is showing the ravages of age. Do you ever wish you could reverse the clock, remove the wrinkles of time, rekindle the spring in your step, restore failing sight and hearing? You can’t, but one day God is going to make everything new. Max Lucado wrote: "The Master Builder will pull out the original plan and restore it. He will restore the vigor. He will restore the energy. He will restore the hope. He will restore the soul."
"We look for new heavens and a new earth, in which dwelleth righteousness" (2 Peter 3:13).
Gaze through the telescope of faith and focus on your eternal home where everything will be made new. God Himself shall "wipe away all tears from [your] eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away" (Revelation 21:4).
It makes one want to go home!
"Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless" (2 Peter 3:14).
