Romans 11:33-36

Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor? Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?” For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.

Daily Truth

Today's time being changed by the Word is in Rev. 14. 
Lord,
Make me like those who will be the first fruits of the redeemed who are pure, following the Lamb alone, honest, and without blame (1-5). Cause me to worship You, not what You have made (6-7). Remind me of the never-ending nature of hell when I am hesitant to share with the lost (9-11). Cause me to endure (12). Thank You for the promise of rest (11,13). Prepare me to be harvested by Your Son (14-16). Thank You for sparing me from Your wrath by Your kindness alone (17-20). Help me walk worthy of Your kindness today.

 Today's time having our minds shaped by the Word is in Rev. 13. 
Lord,
Thank You that You have written my name in the Lamb's book of life (8). Following You will include persecution because You were persecuted (10). Magnify   Yourself by enabling me to endure in faith in the middle of persecution. Prepare me for it.  Thank You that the enemy's victory is short-lived (5). Thank You that You have marked me with Your name and Your Son's name (14:1). Make it obvious today that I belong to You. Grow me to be more like You.

Daily Truth

Today's time in the Word is Revelation 12.
Lord,
Jesus came through Your people ("the woman") who trusted God's promise to bring a savior (17). Prepare me to resist the devil's fury (6, 12). Thank You for the assurance that the one who accuses us before God will be thrown down from heaven, no longer to accuse us (9). By the sacrifice of Your Son, we wait to see Your salvation, power, rule, and authority (10).

Daily Truth

Today's time in the Word is in Revelation 10.
Lord,
Hebrews 2:8 tells me that I "do not yet SEE everything subjected to" Your control (even though You are). But thank You for telling me that there will come a day when I will SEE Your perfect rule (Rev. 11:15-17). The wicked may rule for a time, but a person only measures that which he plans to rebuild after it has been destroyed (1). So You plan to build a new sanctuary to be with Your people, and it will be a heavenly sanctuary and Your presence and power will be clearly known there (19). Help me worship You on my face (16) and fear Your name (18) as I wait to SEE You.

Daily Truth

Today's time being changed by the Word is in Revelation 10.
Lord,
Help me accept that I am not intended to know everything (4). Thank You that You are trustworthy and I can trust You to bring Your plan to completion (7). Lord, when I proclaim Your judgement upon the rebellious of the nations, it may at first taste sweet that those who hate us for loving You are destroyed. But in the end, it will sicken me that You will be separated forever from those You created and love (9-11). Help me love like You today.

Today's time in the Word is in Revelation 7.
Lord,
Remind me that salvation from my greatest struggle is only from You (10). Let all I do today reveal Your greatness, wisdom, worth, and power (12). You never promised to keep me from tribulation in this life, but thank You that You have promised to make me righteous (14), to be my eternal shelter (15), and to give me eternal satisfaction, protection (16), and comfort (17).

Daily Truth

Today's reminder from God's truth is in Revelation 6.
My Judge,
If i have avoided a more difficult path in life by remaining silent about You, forgive me. The first four seals remind me of Zechariah 1 where God spoke of colorful horses as He promised an exiled Israel that He would rebuild their city. The church oppressed by Rome needed reminding that God had promised them victory just like He had promised Israel in Babylon, except the Church's new Jerusalem would be everlasting. On the day of Your wrath, You will vindicate righteousness (9-11) and there will be no place for the wicked to hide (12-17). When harassed, encourage my heart with the reminder that You have promised sure victory and a new Jerusalem. Motivate me to share so that many will not have to hide from Your righteous wrath on that Day.

Daily Truth

Today's time being shaped by God's truth is revelation 5.
Lord,
Let me weep when I am prevented from looking into what You have written and that I am not worthy to read Your holy words (1-4). That is how holy You are. But thank you that Jesus is worthy (5). Make my choices today a loud song of praise to Jesus, my Savior (8-10). Help me live like I believe that You have all power, wealth, wisdom, might, honor, and glory (12). I bow to Your will today and forever (12-14).

Today's time growing in grace is in Revelation 4.
My King,
Make Your rule as central in my life as Your throne is in heaven (2). Make my life display the incredible beauty of Your rule in my life as precious stones adorn Your throne (3). Thank You for the gift of righteousness You give to those who worship You (4). You are all-powerful (5). Help my life show it. Those who see You best, know You best, worship You most, and give glory, honor, and thanks most (8-9). Help me know You more. Help me be willing to fall humbly before You. I give up my self-rule, represented by my crown, to You, the only rightful King (10).

Today's time letting God's Word wash our minds is in Revelation 3:14-22.
Lord, my Creator (14), You have given me living water to drink. Let Your life in me be either a cold refreshing drink to restore thirsty souls, or a hot, healing bath to give relief to their hurts. Don't let me be useless water today (15-16). Let my own earthly security blind me to my desperate need for Your grace today (17-18). Rebuke and discipline me today because You love me too much to let me remain wicked (19). Let me enjoy You being with me today (20). Make me fit to rule with You (21).
