How Long, O Lord?

Do you remember back when you were a kid and travelling?  What would you keep asking..."Are we there yet?"  The same question continues to be asked by God's people today.  How much longer will it be?  As we face the trials and tribulations in this world, we are reminded that Jesus has overcome the world.  As we prepare for our crown, we must carry our cross.  Jesus didn't promise us a joyride through this life.  But he has promised everlasting joy in the everlasting life to come.  Are you living in anticipation of that trumpet sound?
