THE DAY SHALL DECLARE IT .

 
November 28
 
I Corinthians 3:13
Every man's work shall be made manifest: for
the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed
by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
 

The day refer to is the day when the Lord Jesus shall reveal from heaven in flaming fire, when the dead shall be raised, and the judgment commence.

 

Oh, what a day will that be!

 

Then every covering shall be removed, and every secret exposed.

 

It will be a revealing day -- a convincing day -- a confirming day -- a condemning day -- a justifying day.

 

Then our motives will all be discovered, and our intentions laid bare.

 

Hypocrisy will be condemned, and deception punished.

 

Oh beloved, let us live as having that day before us; let us act as though persuaded that then all will be discovered.

 

Are we sincere? - The day will declare it.

 

Are we aiming at God's glory or self exaltation? -The day will declare it.

 

Are we conducting our business on christian, or worldly principle? -The day will declare it.

 

Are we honest and humble ? -The day will declare it.

 

Is our profession from principle, from faith in, and the love to Jesus? -The day will declare it.

 

Oh that that day may declare that we are humble, holy, watchful, diligent disciples of the Lord Jesus!

 

Let us daily live expecting that day, it will come upon many suddenly.

 
 
Before me place in dread array
The pomp of that tremendous day,
When thou with clouds shall come
To judge the nations at Thy bar
And tell me, Lord, shall I be there,
To meet a joyful doom?
 

James Smith
