I'm looking forward to the day when Jesus will come back simply because I know that on that day, my battle with pride will be over.
I've been reading through the small prophets (Nahum, Habbakuk, Zephaniah...) along with Revelation and keep finding verse after verse talking about God's triumphant victory on that day.
Everyone's going to be on their faces when they see God for who He is! If ever I thought I had something to boast about, I'm going to be ashamed when I see those things compared to Jesus.
"The Lord will be awesome against them; for He will famish all the gods of the earth, and to Him shall bow down, each in its place, all the lands of the nations."
(Zephaniah 2:11)
"...you shall no longer be haughty in my holy mountain. But I will leave in your midst a people humble and lowly. They shall seek refuge in the name of the Lord."
(Zephaniah 3:12)
"Enter into the rock and hide in the dust from before the terror of the Lord, and from the splendor of his majesty. The haughty looks of man shall be brought low, and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled, and the Lord alone will be exalted in that day...
Stop trusting in man in whose nostrils is breath, for of what account is he?"
(Isaiah 2:10-11, 22)
If heaven is going to be all about worshiping Jesus, why are our lives so occupied with ourselves?
Less of me and more of you, Jesus.
