~~~ Daniel 2:31-45 ~~~ (Psalm) Daniel 3:57-61~~~ Luke 21:5-11 ~~~
Remain faithful until death,
and I will give you the crown of life.
All earthly kingdoms will crumble.
There is no building material that can
compare to the kingdom of God.
The strongest metal...the hardest stone
all is inferior to the kingdom built by God.
“Bless the Lord, all you works of the Lord,
praise and exalt him above all forever.”
To remain faithful to the Lord we are to see his handiwork
in all of his great works.
Each time we see his hand at work
we must lift up our hands, eyes, and hearts to him.
It is our task in this life to be steadfast...to remain faithful.
Each day, it may be necessary to renew our
commitment to be faithful.
Many things pass before our eyes to make
us question our desire to be faithful.
If we make it a conscious habit to remain faithful
then even when we are on our death bed
it will bring us comfort.
The comfort will come from the knowledge
that in the face of our world crumbling around
us we did not waiver.
Remain faithful until death,
and I will give you the crown of life.
We may not know what this crown of life is right now,
but if it comes from God it will be splendid.
The crown of life
is surely the eternal life we have been promised.
It is the culmination of our faithful life on earth.
The crown of life will not be dependent
on earthly materials.
Earthly materials are passing...
the crown of life from God is forever.
There is a popular saying...
'Diamonds are Forever'
In eternity it is the 'Crown of Life'
that is forever.
Cultivate the habit of being faithful in small matters
so that you will remain faithful until death to God.
God is creating your personalized
'Crown of Life'
every day you remain faithful to his love.
It may help you to visualize this crown
which God has waiting for you.
It will certainly be more beautiful
than any diamond on earth.
Blessings to remain faithful.
Blessed with the eternal 'crown of life'.
~~~Peace~~~
