“Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will He find faith on earth?” Luke 18:8
Working on some outdoor stuff around the RV – ‘Mercy’ – I play some praise from my IPhone. This song comes up and knocks me to my knees.
I’ve been meditating upon the ‘Prodigal Son’ and Mercy lately. This song takes me back and lifts me up.
Two decades past, I was just married and fighting to find faith. I read books that talked about those left behind, those outside of God’s love when He returns. In that moment, I knew that if Jesus came in glory at that moment, I was doomed. He would not know me – and, why would He? What reason have I given God to look my way?
But, as this song transitions from ‘will there be faith on earth’ to ‘there will be faith on earth’, God fills me with joy. God shows my heart and affirms that if today He returns, in me there ‘will be found faith on earth’ even if in no one else. It is all about what I’ve done that makes the difference – I cried out to God in repentance and trust.
Do you have faith, that when the Lord Jesus returns, He will point at you and declare to all the Heavenly Host, ‘see the shining faith in My son/daughter!’
