1 John 3:2 "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."
What a mighty promise we find in this verse. I don't know about you but I get tired of sinning and disappointing my Lord. I understand that He already knows that we will sin and has forgiven the failure but I still find it at times gut wrenching to once again fail in my attempts to be like Him. Some days even thinking, "What is the use in trying?" Quickly though my mind reminds me that it is in the attempt and desire to do right that God is glorified. Obedience is paramount! When we fail in our attempt to obey Him God is still glorified. When we fail to obey is when He is dishonored (see life of Saul).
What a glorious day it will be when we see Him in His glory. Oh to be sure, there is a little apprehension on my part about all that will go on at the judgment seat but in the end to be delivered from this world of evil is a most wonderful reality. And to be made like Him and to be a joint-heir with Him is a refreshing thought.
Give God your best today; desiring His ways and will for your life.
