Bebe's interpretation
In this verse, we are reminded to strengthen our hearts as we await the coming of the Lord. The phrase "for the coming of the Lord is near" calls us to remain strong and hopeful, even when life becomes challenging. In a world that often feels full of anxiety, waiting for God’s promises, especially His return, can seem difficult. However, this verse encourages us to build strength and patience in the process of waiting. We are not meant to wait passively but to remain engaged in hope and trust, focusing on God's promise of salvation and restoration. Just as a runner prepares with strength and endurance for the finish line, we too must prepare ourselves for the coming of the Lord by strengthening our hearts. The Lord's return is our hope, and the strength we build while waiting allows us to endure hardships. Let this verse remind us that, although we wait in anticipation, we can also experience peace and joy, knowing that His coming is imminent and that He will fulfill His promises to us. As we wait for His return, we can live with patience, trusting in His timing and His faithfulness.
