It's my desire to "simply teach the Bible simply" and thus in this daily devotional, you will normally find a Scripture, and then a simple explanation of that Scripture, along with some practical application, and promises from the Lord... and a prayer for the Lord to use His Word to bring forth fruit in our lives. I welcome your comments, and would love to share them with others and be encouraged with you. Pastor Bob Grenier

And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. Rev 20:4
This is our future. Those in Christ have this future. The future is coming, and we will live and reign with Christ.
The Bible speaks so often of hope and joy. And, calls us to rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Rejocing in hope, knowing we have a future with the Lord, is the greatest blessing possible for a human being.
You may be in the dumps today, you may have the blues today, you may be confused, discouraged, depressed, wondering what happened to the good old days, or will my life ever get better again etc, etc, ?
One thing for sure, it will.
You have in Christ the promise of being with Him forever, and of His blessing forever.
One of the other wonderful and super truths if you will about God, is that since He is eternal, He is infinte, and His grace is eternal and infinite, it will take Him forever to unfold His grace to us.
This means, that there will never come a time when we have come to know His grace completely. He will spend eternity revealing to us the riches of His grace.
He will never say, "Ok, that's it, that's all the grace I have for you, there is no mnore " No, that will not happen.
So,back to you if your down in the dumps etc. Can I encourage you to look up to the Lord, He is faithful, He will is with you, He is not going anywhere, He has a plan, He will never leave you, He is working all things according to the counsel of His own will, He loves you, He has new mercies for you today, etc, etc, etc.
We are on our way to heaven. We are guaranteed safe arrival. We will ge there, He has promised that to us.
And, once we arrive with Him, we will not only live and reign with Him for a 1000 years, but, will go on into the new holy city and the new earth, and all that God has planned for us, which extends beyond our ability to comprehend.
May the rich blessings of God's peace and mercy be yours today.
Pastor Bob Grenier.
