Devotion 2/18, Oh What a Day that Will Be!

For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.   Habakkuk 2:14

Right now, the earth is not filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord. We as Christians certainly understand His glory, but millions of the unsaved do not. One day the earth will be filled with those who fully understand the glory of our Lord! As surely as the waters cover the sea, so will those who glorify and magnify Him cover the earth. Oh, what a day that will be!
All of the Lord’s enemies will be destroyed, every knee will have bowed to Christ, and every tongue will have confessed Him as Lord (Romans 14:11, Philippians 2:10-11)!

God promises us — his children — that our lives can matter more than fruitless labor and perishable acquisitions. We can live for him and to experience him and his glory. God will one day make his presence fully known to those who love him (1 John 3:1-3). What a glorious day when this promise is fully realized! Let’s make every effort and commit ourselves to making our glorious God known to every nation, tribe, language, and people (Revelation 7:9-12) so they can share in this flood of grace God has promised his children!

Almighty God, please lead me to someone who needs to know your salvation. Please bless your servants worldwide as they share your message with others. Please give them success and hasten the day this glorious promise is fully realized. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.  https://youtu.be/40lCmHvmcCY?feature=shared
