Read : 1 Thessalonians 4:16-5:11
Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have. - Revelation 3:11
During the American Civil War, General William T. Serman left behind a contingent of men to guard the rations in a fort on Kennesw Mountain. General John Bell Hood of the Confederate Army attacked the fort, and a fierce battle followed. One-third of Shermans' men were killed or wounded and the general in command was severely injured. Just as he was about to surrender, a message came through the signal corps set up on a chain of mountains. General Shaerman was within 15 miles of the fort and sent the message : "Hold fast. We are coming."Those few words which so encouraged the defenders that they held on and kept the fort from falling.
Our heavenly Commander has also sent us the assurance that He is coming. The Lord Jesus said, "I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also" (Jn.14:2-3). The fact that our Savior is coming again gives us hope. It makes us want to stand our ground. It encourages us to continue fighting the good fight of faith. It assures us of victory. Fierce as the battle may rage and difficult as the conflict maybe as we Serve Him, we dare not give up. Christ is coming again - perhaps today. - Richard Dee Hamn
Hold The fort, for I am noning"
Jesus signals still.
Wave the answer back to heaven
By Thy grace we will. - Bliss
When Faithlessness Is Most Difficult, It Is Most Rewarding.
