Revelations 14: 13 Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”
"Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”
This is just before Jesus appears on his throne. A call for patient endurance by Christians preceded it.
I'm moving into a new stage of grief for my mother. The adrenaline high which got me through the first 10 days is gone. I am left, exhausted and sad. This passage, from one Bible book I generally dread reading, gives me comfort. My mother was indeed blessed, and she can now rest. Her faithfulness to Christ was tested, but her faith prevailed even under attack from both man and Satan.
Prayer: Lord, guide me through my times of grief and heartbreak. Be with me when I falter. Help me to see You in my day to day life.
Amen
