Revelation 4- Eternal Worship Today

8 And the four living creatures, each one of them ...day and night they do not cease to say,
   “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is THE LORD GOD, THE ALMIGHTY, WHO WAS AND WHO IS AND WHO IS TO COME.”
 9 And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever,  
10 the twenty-four elders will fall down before Him who sits on the throne, and will worship Him who lives forever and ever, and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
 11 “Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created.”

God is worthy to receive glory, honor and worship eternally at all times, not just in Heaven.  What an amazing glimpse of Heaven we see in Revelation... It reminds me however, that this is what should be taking place in my heart at all times.  Even though I am still walking on this sin filled earth, God is no different, He should be constantly worshiped in all that we do.

Lord help me to be praising you inside and out, in all that I do today!  What an amazing God we serve....

Revelation 3- A Proper View

17 Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked,  
18 I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.  
19 Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.  
20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.

Lord help me to have a proper view of who You created me to be...Help me to see who I am in comparison to what You have done in me and how You have transformed me. Give me a passion to seek after You. Allow me to know Your will and turn my heart toward that alone.  Thank You for love...and discipline.

James 3- Gods Wisdom

 13 Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.
...
17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.
18 And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Lord, give us your wisdom to spread peace though the Gospel... not by my strength, but through Your power!

James 1- Supernatural Joy through Trials

2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing (spiritually).  5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

Need I say more?  What a wonderful promise... Lord, help me to consider it ALL JOY!

Hebrews 11- Critical Faith

6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

Read More

I love this verse in light of Ephesians 2:8-9:

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;  
9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.  
10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

How amazing that God would grant us the faith He requires for us to be saved, but also what He requires to please Him!

15 Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise,  
16 making the most of your time, because the days are evil.  
17 So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

Hebrews 4- The Word: God's scalpel

12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.  
13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

Lord use Your Word to transform my life.  More importantly use it to impact those around me who do not know You!  Help me to be ready at all times to give a reason for the Hope that is in me...Your Salvation which comes only through Jesus Christ!
