Today's Devotion:
"A GREAT PROMISE"
Genie: You have 3 wishes.
Me: I've seen this before. Whatever I wish
for will come back and bite me in some way.
Genie: I PROMISE that won't happen. I'm so
sure it won't I'll give you infinite wishes if it does.
Me: Okay. I wish for a boomerang with teeth.

1Thess. 5:9-10
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but
to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or
sleep, we should live together with Him.
KJV
_______THOUGHT______________
The pronoun "Who" in verse 10 refers back to
"our Lord Jesus Christ" in verse 9.
In His death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus
has provided a GREAT PROMISE!
The words "wake" and "sleep" mean whether
we (Christians) are ALIVE or DEAD physically!
There is a realization in the Christian that
if we are alive or dead physically, we SHALL
"live TOGETHER with HIM!"
Therefore, there should be no DIFFERENCE
from being dead IN Christ, and LIVING with
Christ!
2Cor. 5:5 says, "Now he that hath wrought us
for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath
given unto us the earnest of the Spirit."
As Christians, we should realize that being
dead physically IN Christ, we will be "absent
from the body, and present with the Lord."
(2Cor. 5:8)
It follows then, that Christians should be
"together with HIM" if we are ALIVE in the
body!!
We should live DAILY with Jesus as the
CENTER of our lives!
God PROMISED it!
Let us LIVE it!
Love ya!
