“And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.”

As 2021 is coming to an end and as 2022 is in a couple days, let us reflect on how faithful God has been to us over this past year and give thanks to Him. And as 2022 brings a lot of uncertainties, we as believers can hold onto this one certain Truth and promise—that we will dine with our Saviour one day. As Abbey wrote a couple days ago to patiently wait for Christ, I want to remind you all that we wait because we are assured that our fellowship with Him will be perfected! All the sufferings we face in this lifetime will not even compare to the glory that is waiting for us. And as we approach another year, remember that this earth is not our home but our TRUE home is yet to come for we are considered blessed as we will dine with our Saviour when that Day comes. Let us have that eternal perspective!

Paul has been so encouraged by the faith that the Philippians had as they were truly exemplifying their faith by their support for him and for their defense in the Gospel. And yet Paul exhorts the Philippians to continue to grow in their faith and love with knowledge and discernment (v. 9).

We should not be content in our spiritual growth/progress right now for we must continue to hunger to learn and know God more because it is only when we come to know God more intimately where we can grow more in love and in holiness and ultimately be prepared for the day of Christ. Let us continue to labour in the Scriptures and seek the richness of the Scriptures and glory of God. May we continue to marvel at the glory of God.
