Daily Devotion: Revelation 19:6-7

By

Revelation 19:6-7     "And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. (7)  Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him..."

"And I heard as it were the voice..."  When was the last time you heard from God? When was the last time your heart overflowed with the very presence of the Lord God Almighty? When was the last time your heart was filled with gladness and rejoicing flowed from you to the very throne of God? I wish I could tell you this is a daily event for me.  I try in my prayer life to give praise and honour unto the Lord. I long to hear His voice speaking into my heart.  It's such a great blessing when I read something in God's Word and it resonates loudly inside of me. I love it when I read a verse and I know God had me in mind when He inspired the writer to pen those words. I think it's amazing to know God knew me and had me in mind thousands of years ago. He knew I would need a particular word from Him at just a precise moment.

John was blessed to "hear the voice" and it blessed him beyond measure. What did that voice speak into John's heart? "... the Lord God omnipotent reigneth." I really want to begin a series concerning the omnipotence of God.  I spoke of Him as being the "Lord God Almighty" when I wrote of that in the first paragraph.  God, the Holy Spirit, spoke in terms of His omnipotence. I want to think those two terms, Almighty and omnipotent, say the same thing, but I'm not sure the English language has the proper wording to completely express the power of God.  Because there are so many things that God does "behind the scene," I don't believe we are fully capable of fully comprehending His power and honour.  It is as Paul stated in 2 Corinthians 12:4 how he "... heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter." As I write these words today, I hope this weekend to spend time meditating upon God's greatness and His glory. Will you join me in doing that? As we think about these things, "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him..."

Daily Devotion: Colossians 1:25-26

By
Colossians 1:25-26    “Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;  Even   the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:” In verse twenty-four, Paul has expressed his joy in bearing hardship for the church. It is of this church, the body of Jesus Christ, that he is made a minister. Since Paul used the phrase “made a minister” in verse twenty-three of this same chapter, it seems there is something important that he wishes to convey. The Greek word translated as “made” means “to cause to be.” It was the will of God (Col 1:1) that caused Paul to become a minister. God is always the cause of true ministry. Although our fathers may be ministers, if we become true ministers of the gospel it is  not  because our fathers are ministers. True ministers of the gospel do not take that path because they seek honor for themselves, or b...

Daily Devotion: Exodus 7:6-10

By
Exodus 7:6-10    "And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they. And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh. And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent. And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent." Moses and Aaron had begun to doubt whether they were right for the job the LORD had given them. Here, it is evident that God granted them a renewal of their faith. Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them. In my opinion, all truly successful outcomes in our lives begin with this. Moses and Aaron were not young men. Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old. Still,...
