Revelation 7:14-17
So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them. 16 They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; 17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

How wonderful are the promises of God!
As we wait for all creation to be redeemed and restored (Rom. 8:19-21), we are called to holiness, to purity. We are called to be unpolluted by the world (James 1:27), set apart and Holy before God.
To those who endure, to those who overcome is hope of peace, rest, provision and comfort (Psa. 23). There will be a day without harm or pain or threat or sorrow.
That day begins with claiming the forgiveness found in the blood of the Lamb of God and being washed white as snow (Psa. 51:7) as we live in His presence daily.

Lord, give me a passion for purity. Let my deepest hunger be for holiness. Let me thirst for righteousness. Let these hungers sustain me and strengthen me to stand and endure until You fulfill Your promises.
Amen.
