All times are beautiful for those who maintain joy within them; but there is no happy or favorable time for those with disconsolate or orphaned souls.

Romans 15:10-13 (HCSB)
Again it says: Rejoice, you Gentiles, with His people! And again: Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; all the peoples should praise Him! And again, Isaiah says: The root of Jesse will appear, the One who rises to rule the Gentiles; in Him the Gentiles will hope. Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
The root of Jesse, will appear, this was prophesied in Isaiah, this scripture comes from the mouth of the ancient prophet who did not live to see it fulfilled. We, on the other hand, are witnesses to the fulfillment of thousands of Old Testament prophecies, and yet we do not appreciate the power of this prophetical witness.
It is said that the chances of one of these prophecies coming true, is equal to the chance of you randomly picking up a marked quarter among a 2 ft layer of quarters that would cover an area the size of Texas. Ok, so what, so what if this is true, and so what if the prophecies have been fulfilled.
Well, for me it means that just as those promises have come to pass, my eternal rewards in Christ shall come to pass as well. If I am looking forward to my reward I am filled with hope and filled with joy, which is my strength, and the precious Holy Spirit of God residing in me, shall fill me with the strength I need each day until I see Jesus. How about you? Is it a big deal to you, or are you over looking God’s encouragement…God’s Blessings.
