The great part is that Sharon will get to show off all her hard work at her house! Its amazing and more amazing to know she did it all herself....literally! Please email me back so I know you got this email! I have snack for tomorrow.
Daily Prayer:
Lord, thank you so much for this day! WE come to you yearning to know more of you, and today we look to your word to know more! We pray for understanding and revelation as we read and reflect on the message set before us. We pray that you show us a new part of you today! We love you and praise you! AMEN
Love this verse:
"Look, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are continually before Me." Isaiah 49:16
My devotional says - All our lives God retains the strong feelings toward us that infants evoke in their parents, because He never had to let us go! He's not rearing us to leave home, but to come home! AMEN!
Question 5
Please don't miss the beauty of the angels in verse 11 listening to the multitudeof the redeemed in verse 10 crying out their praises to God and waving palm branches. Angels have given unceasing and lofty praises to God throughout all of time since their creation. Imagine what is must be like for them to listen to us. Note the specific cry of the redeemed in Revelation 7:10. What did they proclaim as belonging to God and to the Lamb?
Revelation 7:10-12
10 And they cried out in a loud voice:
“Salvation belongs to our God,
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb.”
11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying:
“Amen!
Praise and glory
and wisdom and thanks and honor
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!”
My Thoughts: They were proclaiming, "Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne and from the Lamb!" They were honoring God and becoming prepared for his reign. What an awesome sound and vision!
In light of the word you just recorded, read 1 Peter 1:10-12. What concepts are conveyed in this segment:
1 Peter 1:10-12
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, 11 trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow. 12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.
My thoughts: All of the work of the prophets and God's followers (his Disciples, workers, Christians, etc) are to do; this work of leading people to Christ is for Him not for US! We do his work to fulfill our purpose in Christ of being his workers to further his kingdom here on Earth in preparation for the new kingdom.
In particular what does it say about angels at the end of 1 Peter 1:12?
1 Peter 1:12
12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.
My thoughts: It is all so wonderful that even the angels are awestruck with Him! What an amazing sight!
I am so excited to see all of you tomorrow! Please come, even if you have not kept up with the homework. You can look at the Blog for a summary of the homework and can watch last week's (session 6) DVD at the website below:
