Job 3:17-19
There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.
These words should bring comfort to the soul of the believer. We are headed to a place where there will be no more wicked rulers, no more tyrants, no more slave masters, no more oppressors, no more attacks, no more injustice, no more crime or broken laws or misery or sadness or sickness or pain or harm or DEATH. We will rest in the presence of the One Who has saved us from all of that! We will enjoy the perfection that He has prepared for us. We will worship Him hour after hour after hour, in the fullness of joy (1 Peter 1:8, 4:13).
As I mature, I look more and more forward to heaven. I love things about this earth, such as family, friends and church...but my desire to be in the presence of the LORD grows each day. My daughter shared with me that she used to pray that the LORD would wait to come after this happened or that happened, but she says now she prays "Come LORD Jesus...and soon!!!" (I think she may be maturing also! Lol!)
Believer, take comfort in the fact that this is only temporary. The misery that we endure here on this earth is only for a while. One day we will be in the presence of our Savior...which is far better (Philippians 1:23).
