Contained But Not ExtinguishedBen Ayala
In
June 2012, the Waldo Canyon fire destroyed 346 homes in Colorado
Springs, Colorado, and burned more than 18,000 acres of mountain
forest. The fire was declared 100-percent contained when perimeter
lines had been built around the entire area of the blaze. It had been
confined to a defined area until it could be fully extinguished. A fire
information official warned residents that they might continue to see
smoke in the burn area because even though the fire was fully contained
it “is not controlled and it is not out.”
 
When
our world is rocked by tragic events and evil acts, we long for the day
when evil will finally be destroyed and God will bring history to a
close and fully establish His kingdom. Until that time, however, the
Lord gives us His grace to live purposeful lives of faith as we await
His coming. In Hebrews 10, we are urged to draw near to God with
sincere hearts (v.22); hold fast to the hope we profess (v.23); spur
each other on to love and good works (v.24); and continue meeting
together for encouragement “and so much the more as you see the Day
approaching” (v.25).

For yet a little while, and He who is coming will come and will not tarry. —Hebrews 10:37 |
Until
the time God extinguishes the fires of evil forever, He gives us His
grace and strength to endure the trials of life as we look forward to
His return.
Dear Lord, thank You for the
grace
You give us to live each day for Your glory. We look forward to the day when You return, all evil will be extinguished, and we will live with You in perfect harmony forever.
Jesus is coming—perhaps today!
