“When the Son of Man comes will he find faith on the earth?” Mark 18:8

I can’t speak for the whole earth.

I can only speak for myself.

So when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith in me?

How will He know it’s there?

By observing my faithfulness.

And how will my faithfulness be clearly seen?

By the promises I keep.

By my consistent devotion.

By my regular presence at worship.

By a steady walk of obedience.

By resisting temptation to make much of myself.

By standing firm in the face of a changing culture.

I pray He won’t have to look too hard to find faith on the earth.

Or in me.

“My faith is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.          I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus’ name.”
