Soon

"And behold, i am coming soon...Surely i am coming soon." - Revelation 22:7, 20

I heard Hillsong/Brooke Fraser's song Soon for the first time yesterday. What a song full of promise and reassurance of the Lord's power and glory and honor. I look forward to the promise, the Lord is coming soon. Until then, my heart holds fast to Him, hopes in His salvation and will strive to bring Him glory. Nothing compares to His steadfast love - do you realize how often those two words appear in the bible? In the Psalms alone? Steadfast. Love. His love holds strong and true. And He is coming soon.

Bless the Lord, O my soul...who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy..." -Psalm 103:3-4

Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure. - 1 John 3:2-3

And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed in the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. -2 Corinth 3:18




Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So i will bless you as long as i live; in your name i will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied... -Psalm 63:3-5

Can you picture the glorious scene in Revelation? The elders and angels gathering around His throne, casting down their crowns and their own glories in awe and reverence. I think this is my favorite verse in the song: the procession of the elders and angels.At His feet i lay my crowns, my worship. Laying down our crowns at His feet and acknowledging His awesome glory, soon united with the one we Love, the one who Loves us wholly. Can it get any better?

And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne saying, "Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created." -Revelation 4:9-11
