There are days or seasons when life is particularly difficult. Someone suffers illness, another lack of income, others loss of loved ones, and some suffer daily threats to their lives because they are believers. We need each other, particularly during times of stress. It is like fresh cool water on a scorching day to remind ourselves that Jesus will come for us one day.
One moment we will be suffering, the next we will be caught up in the air to meet him. This truth helps us keep focused on eternity and not on the current suffering. We must live in the moment God has given us, while holding the treasure of the promise of his return in our hearts (1 Thessalonians 4:17-18).
