September 9
Were I to be anxious about anybody, it would be
for our children and what will befall them if
something new does not happen soon. That is
why today we look up to heaven with great
longing, to the Savior who sits at the right hand
of the Father and who has called down to us
from heaven, "Behold, I am coming soon!"
Do not let yourselves be robbed of the belief
that one day things will change and become
different. Suppose, for a moment, that things
would not change; what then would become of
all our children? Who would guarantee us that
they would not be found in who knows what hell?
Who would prevent this? Therefore we should,
in great earnestness, concern ourselves with
the cause of the kingdom of God, for the Savior
said, "Seek first the kingdom of God." He did not
say this for his own sake, or for the sake of God.
He could exist without us. No, he said it for our
sake!
Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt, from
Jesus Is Victor, The Cry of Those Who Fear the Lord.
