In the Third Day
by Ray Prinzing

"Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for He hath torn, and He will heal us; He hath smitten, and He will bind us up.  After two days will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight.  Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: His going forth is prepared as the morning..." Hosea 6:1-3

As a point of beginning we might refresh our mind with the word, as Peter gave it, "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day." (2 Peter 3:8).  Our God is the Author of time, He is not bound by time, but He has given it to the sons of men as a part of our present travail.  But, using this comparison of a thousand years as a day, and realizing that two thousand years have almost slipped by since Jesus Christ walked the shores of Galilee, we know have used up two days, and are facing the dawn of the THIRD DAY, when the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings.  There are some tremendous things which happen in the third day, and comparable at least, we want them to happen in our lives in THIS DAY wherein we live.
