"And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."
Revelation 7:13-17
I like this preview into what God has in store for the faithful. It says that all of these went through great tribulation, and God intends to dwell among them, which in amazing all by itself, but the addition of no hunger or thirst and not having to worry about temperature or sustenance is cool... and perhaps the coolest part of all is that God will wipe away all tears from their eyes. He is going to make everything okay. Maybe in this Earth life that isn't possible for everything, but then, there, with him... there isn't anything that he can't heal.
Today as we go through the tribulations of our own lives, let's remember and look forward to God's promises. Let's cling to his hope and move forward along the path that leads to this perfect day. :)
