Come
Up
Here!
Scripture
Revelation
11
9 And
for three and a half days, all peoples, tribes, languages, and
nations will stare at their bodies. No one will be allowed to bury
them.
10 All
the people who belong to this world will gloat over them and give
presents to each other to celebrate the death of the two prophets who
had tormented them.
11 But
after three and a half days, God breathed life into them, and they
stood up! Terror struck all who were staring at them.
12 Then
a loud voice from heaven called to the two prophets, “Come up
here!” And they rose to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched.
Observation
Reading
Ezekiel and Revelation for your Quiet time is a tough read! I was
hoping that maybe there would have been be a Psalm stuck in between
Ezekiel and Revelation, but there wasn’t today! I thought about
adding some, but I didn't!
Revelation
11:12 did get my attention this morning, “Then
a loud voice from heaven called to the two prophets, “Come up
here!”
One
day the Lord is going to say to me, “Come up here!”
God
is Sovereign. He is in control. He is not wringing His hands over
what is happening in our world. He has it all under control.
Every
detail, every crazy thing that is going on in Washington, none of it,
has caught our Lord by surprise. But, I bet a lot of what is going
on makes Him shake His head. And I guarantee you that He is not happy
with us as a nation!
By
the way, only a Sovereign God could tell who (if anybody) is actually
telling the truth in all of the attacks and counter attacks going on
between our government leaders. News, what we see, what we hear is
slanted … it is filled with schemes and clouded by deception.
Yet,
in spite of all of this craziness , you can be sure that God is still
working out His plan.
One
day soon He is going to say to me, and one day He is going to say to
you, if you are a Christ follower, “Come up here!”
Are
you ready?
But
seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33
Application
I
will put God’s agenda first today.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, we give thanks to you, Lord God, the
Almighty, the one who is
and who always was, for now you have assumed your great power and
have begun to reign. The world has now become the
Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and
he will reign forever and ever. Revelation 11:17&15
I
pray for our leadership. I pray for our President and I pray for the
others who lead our nation. Work in their hearts Lord. Help them to
make godly decisions according to Your Word. Raise up godly men and
women to lead us, both here in our city and state and in our nation.
You have told us to pray for them. I am praying for them right now.
