There’s nothing more exciting! The last trumpet will sound and the dead in Christ will rise. And those who are alive will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air (I Thessalonians 4:16-17). The God who raised Jesus from the tomb will come for you if you believe in Him.

And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power-I Corinthians 6:14

What power! What a glorious thought! What comfort it should give as you go through your day. If God has the power to do all that, does He not also have the ability to help you through a difficult time, a crippling illness, a grievous loss or a life-changing tragedy? He does, Beloved one, He does! Know it, believe it and take hold of that fact!

Understood in context, today’s verse also refers to how you conduct yourselves as believers. Christ dwells within you and desires that you maintain purity within and without. Develop that loving relationship He wants with you by keeping in His Word. Let His power and love for you be your encouragement. Then intercede for America’s leaders…that they may come to know Jesus and the life-altering impact He can have on their lives.
