In today’s reading the verse that stood out to me is Revelation 10:7 But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.” There are many mysterious things about God. One day all those mysteries will not only be accomplished, they will also make sense. God’s plan is perfect and it all leads to His glory.

God asks us to pray, not because He needs us to ask, but because it is a privilege to interact with the creator of the universe. We are children of God and He wants us to have a personal relationship with Him where we interact with Him and ask Him to intercede in our lives.

In today’s reading what stood out to me was the level of suffering that will be experienced in the end times. We are so used to having quick fixes that we don’t realize what it would be like to live in constant pain. There are verses in today’s reading that describes pain lasting for 5 months. Revelation 9:6 even says, During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them. They will experience agony so great that death is a welcome alternative. Let us all be grateful for the peace and relative lack of suffering we experience in our lives today. When we feel that life is too hard, let us be reminded how blessed we are that we don’t have to experience the level of suffering described in these passages.

I don’t have much to say about today’s reading other than a simple observation: God’s judgement is severe. While it may not seem fair, it is just.

Today’s verse that stood out was Revelation 7:10, And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” There is only one way to salvation and that is through the saving grace of God through the perfect lamb of Jesus Christ and the guilt of sin can only be removed through Him.

I don’t have much to say about today’s reading other than to point out it is full of imagery and prophesy of what is to one day come. I think it is easy for some people to dwell on all the suffering and pain that is yet to come. But God did not ask us to focus on the future, He asked us to focus on the serving others today, and to be an example of who Christ was on this earth. The rest will happen according to His timing and will.

The verse that stood out to me today is Revelation 5:12 In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!” We could never praise Jesus enough for all He is. We simply scratch the surface when we try because He is worth so much more that we could ever give. It is why He is sufficient for us.

Today’s chapter can be summed up by the last verse, Revelation 4:11, “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.” In the end, all creatures in heaven and earth will praise God because he is the creator and sustainer of everything.

Last week was Father’s Day. As the father of three teenage girls, I am thankful I had great counsel from some godly men who encouraged me to be a example of what a man should be for my girls as they grow up. The video below exemplifies the importance of this. All girls need a hero and I hope and pray I am to my girls. I hope you enjoy the video.

God is always with us. He is always there waiting on us. Revelation 3:20 says, Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. We never have to wonder if God will accept us. He plainly states “Here I am!”
