"Moment Of Truth"

A Blast From The Word
By Sandra Rhynes

“Moment of Truth”
Revelation 2:10b
……be faithful unto death, and I will give you a crown of life.


My mind goes to Paul the Apostle. What do you suppose made him go through all of the terrible stuff he did for the gospel of Christ? He was put in prison, beat, stoned, shipwrecked and rejected. We have to ask ourselves this question. At what point would we have folded. Would prison have done it, or maybe being beat? Paul knew he would go through these things and yet he stayed faithful anyway. He pressed toward the mark of the high calling of Christ. The moment of truth WILL come to each and everyone of us at some time in our lives. When your “moment of truth” comes----will you be ashamed of Jesus and denounce Him or will you be faithful unto death? Will you still say, no matter what, I love you Jesus? Maybe we will have more than one “moment of truth.”

Lord, I am humbled today by these sobering words. In my heart I desire to hold on and be faithful until I die or until You come to get me. In my heart I do press towards the mark to receive from You, my crown of life. When my “moment of truth” comes keep me strong. Keep the hunger and desire for You. Draw me soooo close to You, Lord that my reply will be instantly, Yes, I will always love and serve You. I will be faithful unto death. Praise Your wonderful name forevermore. Amen
