Morning, February 7 | “Arise, and depart.” —Micah 2:10

This Morning's Scripture Reading: Micah 2:10

“Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest”

Devotional Video Transcript:

The hour is approaching when the message will come to us, as it comes to all — “Arise, and leave the home in which you lived, from the city in which you have done your business, from your family, from your friends. Arise, and take your final journey.”

And what do we know of the journey? And what do we know of the country to which we are bound? A little we have read thereof, and somewhat has been revealed to us by the Spirit; but how little we know of the realms of the future! We know that there is a black and stormy river called “Death.” God bids us to cross it, promising to be with us.

And, after death, what comes? What wonder-world will open upon our astonished sight? What scene of glory will be unfolded to our view? No traveler has ever returned to tell.But we know enough of the heavenly land to make us welcome our summons there with joy and gladness.

The journey of death may be dark, but we may go forth on it fearlessly, knowing that God is with us as we walk through the gloomy valley, and therefore we need fear no evil. We shall be departing from all we have known and loved here, but we shall be going to our Father’s house — to our Father’s home, where Jesus is — to that royal “city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.” (Hebrews 11:10) This shall be our last removal, to dwell for ever with him we love, in the midst of his people, in the presence of God.

Christian, meditate much on heaven, it will help you to press on, and to forget the toil of the way.
This vale of tears is but the pathway to the better country: this world of woe is but the stepping-stone to a world of bliss.

“Prepare us, Lord, by grace divine,
For thy bright courts on high;
Then bid our spirits rise, and join
The chorus of the sky.”
