My Own Fireworks Display

Monday, August 19, 2019

I had a friend who had a dramatic experience coming to the Lord, so I thought that this is how it was for every salvation - that when you come to the Lord, you get some kind of sign indicating you made it in. So when I prayed to receive the Lord, I was expecting something, some sign- the sound of a bell, a trumpet, fireworks, anything, telling me I was received, but there was nothing, no fireworks. 20 years later I returned to the place where I received the Lord - on a mountaintop - at night. As I reached the place where I prayed, something caught my eye - to my right was a display of fireworks. So after 20 years of serving the Lord, He finally gave me my firework display. The Lord calls us to live a life of faith. To serve Him even when you see no sign of blessing or reward. Even when it’s hard, do the right thing, keep going - because your reward will surely come, no matter what, and the one who lives by faith will be blessed - even with a display of fireworks.
