Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. James 5:7-8 NIV
Poem: "JESUS IS COMING" by Daniel W. Moody*
Jesus is coming! O sing the glad word!
Coming for those He redeemed by His blood,
Coming to reign as the glorified Lord!
Jesus is coming again!
Jesus is coming! The dead shall arise,
Loved ones shall meet in a joyful surprise,
Caught up together to Him in the skies
Jesus is coming again!
Jesus is coming! His saints to release;
Coming to give to the warring earth peace:
Sinning and sighing and sorrow shall cease.
Jesus is coming again.

Praise & Prayer
I praise You, Lord Jesus, for conquering sin, death, the world, and the powers of darkness. I await Your coming with steadfast hope and joyful anticipation. Please teach me, Holy Spirit, the virtue of patient endurance, like a farmer who waits for the autumn and spring rains. Remind me that the LORD shapes my character and perfects my faith through the trials He allows me to endure. Use me today to help strengthen the faith of family and friends facing hardships or seasons of drought. Fill their hearts with the courage to stand firm and destroy all doubt as we read God's word and pray for the perseverance of faith in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
