Paul Markell, a good friend of mine is noted for saying: “The best is yet to come!”

It is easy to remember that in heaven, we will truly see better than we have now.  The best will be in heaven with Jesus.  I look forward to that…

But I think the best is yet to come for us Christians here, too.  I believe God is working  wonderful miracles and He is redeaming into great things the evil that surrounds us.  Here as some ways I think  the best is yet to come for us:

  • In our economic upheaval, we are starting to become less materialistic.  We are starting to recognize the great value and blessing of God, Jesus, salvation, and righteousness.
  • We will see more people come to Christ.  I see some in the churches starting  to wake up to the need to share our faith.
  • We will see more healings.  God still heals.
  • We will see more peace in the midst of strife.  Too long we have placed our faith and security in temporal and worldly things.  Jesus is the Rock.
  • We will see more Fruit of the Spirit.  I think we are recognizing that Christians can be different than the world around us, and we are becoming more willing to let the Holy Spirit work through us.
  • We will see more prayer.  We are waking  up to the true reality of the spiritual life.

The best is yet to come, and the practices of silence, solitude, and submission will help us be prepared.  We can silently get alone with God and His Word.  We can hear His voice, and as we submit to Him, greater things will happen then even those recorded in the Bible.
