My Soul Waits for the Lord

Ps.130:1-5 Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD! O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy! If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;
To the unbelieving world, there is no hope. But to us who have been given the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ, we know the truth about hope! We know that we are only visitors here and we will soon go home! That being said, we will have trouble in this life but we will never be without hope. As storms head up the coastline, I pray the lost will think about eternity. You will have one, with Christ or without. Hell is a real place for the unrepentant soul.
Luke 16:22-26 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried, and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he called out, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.' But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.'
I could tell you what I think about Hell but it does not matter. God's Word is the only true thing that matters. He is judge and we are all going to be judged by Him.
Lord, I ask for mercy as we try to follow You. We are rotten because of sin and we need a Savior! Jesus is our only hope for reconciliation with a holy God. We believe Your word as truth! Amen
Judgement!
Rev.20:11-15 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
