Exponential function (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

What we are to become, after the end of this world, is yet to be seen or announced from the Lord.  We have little glimpses of what God Himself refers to as Glory.  And we know that God is love, perfection, and absolutely steady in Holiness.  So we can easily come to the conclusion that His people will be like wise.

And what we are now is virtually blind, naked, and powerless compared to what is to come.  What is it to us then if we suffer for the time it takes to wink an eye?  I have mentioned this before, but it is worthy of re-mention:  If this place of testing was sufficient to produce the Glorified Jesus, the Christ of God, what are those who overcome the temptations of this world?  And how powerful is the grace and mercy of God that He would come to us to empower us to overcome?

We take great heart in His promises.  We take great heart at the signs of His presence in our activities and attitudes.  Even as the Sun rises in the morning, we know that He will produce in us what is necessary to be pleasing to the Father.

Stay the course with renewed strength.  Look around and take note of how wicked the world has become in just the last 25 years.  The growth of wickedness will become exponential at this point.  Encourage one another to remain steady as we pursue the holiness He is calling us to embrace.
