Hey everyone! Here we go. Revelation chapter 1. This week I plan on reading everyday (mon-fri) the chapter(s) in the bible and make my way through the book during the week. So this week I will read chapter 1 of the revelation everyday. Next week chapter 2 everyday and so on. This will keep my mind in it everyday and give me fresh perspective to blog on daily if I so desire. I encourage you all to do the same. Just from this mornings reading of rev. 1 I am struck by John's posture we find him in. In prison on this island and in his mid 80's in age and the guy is worshipping! Vs 10. "I was in the spirit on the Lords day". The guy despite his circumstances chooses to worship and the next thing you know he hears the Lord speak to him. No matter what are circumstances might be today or this week may we lift up holy hands and worship the lamb on the throne. The one who is Worthy!

I am doing the same!
ReplyDeleteYour post challenged me to Cast down vain imaginations (II Corinthians 10:4-5 - 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
ReplyDeleteYour post challenges me to be transformed by renewing my mind (Romans 12:1-2 - Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.)
I think it was Rich Anema who introduced me to these passages as a way to see my identity in Christ.
Thanks Rich.
"No matter what are circumstances might be today or this week may we lift up holy hands and worship the lamb on the throne. The one who is Worthy!" - I needed this!
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty amazing the attitude and posture John kept in response to his circumstances. It seems as if he lived truly in the perspective of "more of Him and less of me". Where his circumstances seemed hard, he still knew they were so minimal compared to Christ.
Let us lift our hands in worship....regardless of any and everything! I need this today!
Thanks Reid!
