Be Ready for All Things New (Jan 1)
Following the catastrophic
judgments of the seven vials,
John sees the doom of Babylon.
And a great multitude sings but
praises to God in anticipation of
the marriage supper of the Lamb.
A white horse emerges, mounted
by the King of Kings who destroys
the beast and the false prophet..
setting the stage for the coming
of a new heaven and new earth.
Once again God and his people
live in intimate fellowship. Amen.
Lord, You Restore & Make All New:
The Devil who betrayed them was
thrown into the lake of fire, joining
the beast & the false prophets…And
I saw a great white throne(R20:10-11)
I saw a new heaven & a new earth…
And I heard a loud voice from the
throne saying: Look God’s dwelling
place is now among the people,
and He Will Dwell with them…
And God will wipe every tear
from their eyes. There will be no
more death or mourning or pain, for
the former things have passed away…
I’m making everything New (R21:1-5)
And… the glory of God illuminates
the city and… the nations of the
earth will Walk in its Light (v23-24)
Sovereign God, You are on the
throne. You have already overcome
the enemy and You are the victor.
Living in the end times, help me
spend less time worrying about
a defeated enemy and more time
concerned about those who need
the truth. Help me Lord remember
that time is limited; for how I live
this earthly life is important. Amen.
Father, when I am sad, keep me
from despair; and remind me that
Christ has defeated sin and death.
Grateful Lord that the day is
coming when the world will be
put right and all sorrow will cease.
Thanks for the promise of making
everything new and of making
heaven a place of infinite joy for us.
Praise Yr mighty & holy name. Amen
Lord, help me to see not just the
present challenges, but also the
future that You’ve planned for me.
Flood my mind and heart with Your
light, grant me wisdom and help
me find my way out of dark places.
Illuminate Your Word and assure
me that a wonderful future awaits.
Help me take the long-term view
and Keep me from impatience
and faithlessness. Look forward
to the day when we will be in a city
where the Lamb is the light and to
walk in the light of Your glory. Amen
