R³ Devotional - Day 363

R³ Devotional - Day 363 - Revelation 7:9-12 

By: Anderson Baptist Church

In chapters 6-11, we see the picture of the Lamb opening the seals of the scroll and the events that happen while opening the seals. We also see the seven trumpets when opening the seventh seal. All the visions of judgment that John had were a true revelation of what is coming for creation.

One image that has always fascinated me about the book of Revelation is when John describes in chapter 7, verses 9 -12, the great multitude from every nation, tribes, people, that was before the throne and in the presence of the Lamb.
 
John says no could count them, and they were all praising God! “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne and to the Lamb” vs 10. Imagine all of the multitude, countless persons crying out in one voice, saying this. When I think about this, it gives me chills!

I’ve always heard the phrase that what we do here on earth, how we worship here on earth, is  just practicing for what we’ll be doing for eternity.” I’ve always liked this phrase, but these verses just bring it to life.

Real: Life Principles  
  • God is the only one worthy to give all praise and honor. He has, is, and will always be praised for who He is and what He has done.

  • Our lives should be a response to what God has done for us, a life of obedience to Him is the greatest act of worship. 

Relevant: Life Applications  
  • There will be a day when all who believed in Jesus and his salvation for us will be united to praise the one and true God, the giver of life and salvation to humanity.
     
  • Are you sure you will be there one day? You will be part of the multitude that praises the Lord for all eternity? 

Ready: Life Action Steps
  • As you live your life, remember this image: there will be a crowd, a countless amount of people praising the Lord. That is our hope, that we will be there, reunited with our creator,  worshipping him for all eternity along with the angels.

  • If you are not sure that you will be a part of this, today can be that day. Ask Jesus to forgive you, to transform your life, and surrender yourself to his will.
