I sure hope things get better! How many times have we said this? Truth is that it everything will be better.

“Then he showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. There shall no more be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall worship him; they shall see his face, and his name shall be on their foreheads. And night shall be no more; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they shall reign for ever and ever.” (Revelation 22:1-5).

We are thankful for the blessing of knowing the ultimate future and the one who holds the future. Let this knowledge help us to transcend the mistakes of the past, the frustrations of today, and the worry for tomorrow. The coming day of reward also helps encourage excellence in our daily service to our eternal God.
