I
Saw A Vast Crowd, Too Great To Count,
From
Every Nation And Tribe And People And Language,
Standing
In Front Of The Throne And Before The Lamb.
Scripture
Revelation
7
9 After this I
saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and
people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the
Lamb. They were clothed in white robes and held palm branches in
their hands. 10 And they were shouting with a mighty shout,
“Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne and from the
Lamb!”
Observation
This
is what I wrote on September 2, 2018. This was the month before Kathy
and I were approved to serve as missionaries in India. My heart
attack a few days after being approved to go radically changed our
plans. But you can tell that it was on my heart as I read Revelation
7:9-10 on this day seven years ago.
…
“Here
is what Heaven is going to look like, “a vast crowd, too great to
count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing
in front of the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in
white robes and held palm branches in their hands.”
People
from every nation and tribe and people and language will be there so
we need to get busy. There are still more people to reach. There are
still people groups that need to hear the Good News.
Once
the last people group hears the Gospel then Jesus is coming back!
Will
you go? Will you help someone else go? Will you pray for those that
are going?”
Application
I
want to go. I want to go to an unreached people group and help them
know Jesus. (my application on September 2, 2011)
...
I
would still love to go, but I realize that is no longer a
possibility, so I will still help someone else to go and I will
continue to pray for missionaries already on the field.
How
about you?
Prayer
(My
prayer on September 2, 2011)
Heavenly
Father, I want to go. I pray that You let me go. I pray that you
direct us to just the place where You want us to serve. Send us to
the people that need to hear. I pray that You throw open the doors
that have been shut so we might be able to serve You in a place that
doesn't have the opportunity of having a church on every corner. Send
us to a place where the Gospel needs to be proclaimed. We wait on
You.
…
My
prayer today:
Heavenly
Father, You are a good, good Father. Thank You for allowing me to
live another 7 years. And even though we can't go and live in another
country like we had planned there is still plenty of people to reach
here in our city where we live. Thank You for giving me good enough
health to still serve You. And thank You for giving us a great church
that wants to reach our city for Christ.
