Final Victory & All Things New
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, the revelation on end times
is both a warning to Christians
who have grown apathetic and
an encouragement to those who
are faithfully enduring struggles.
It reassures us that good will
triumph over evil, gives us hope
as we face difficulties & guides us
when we’re wavering in our faith.
Lord, we praise You for being in
control & rejoice that You Reign.
Lord, You Triumph Over Evil;
Lord, You Make All Things New;
Lord, You Provide River of Life.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Lord, You Triumph Over Evil:
The Devil who betrayed them was
thrown into the lake of fire… joining
the beast and the false prophets.
There they will be tormented
day and night forever and ever.
And I saw a great white throne,
and I saw the one who was sitting
on it. The earth and sky fled from
His presence but they found
no place to hide (Rev 20:10-11).
Sovereign God, You are on the
throne. You have already overcome
the enemy and You are the victor.
Living in the end times, may I spend
less time worrying about a defeated
enemy and more time concerned
about those who need the truth.
Help me remember that time is
limited & how I live is critical. Amen.
Lord, You Make All Things New:
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 am making everything new!
… these words are trustworthy
and true (Revelation 21:4-5).
Father, when I am sad, keep me
from despair; and remind me that
Christ has defeated sin & death.
The day is coming when the world
will be put right and all sorrow
will cease. Praise Your holy name.
Thank You Lord for the promise
of making everything new; and
thank You for making heaven
a place of infinite joy. Amen.
Lord, You Provide River of Life:
The angel showed me a river with
the water of life… flowing from
the throne of God and of the Lamb.
On each side of the river grew a tree
of life… with a fresh crop each month.
The leaves were used for medicine
to heal the nations (Rev 22:1-2).
Lord, draw me Lord closer to You;
fulfil me and fully satisfy my heart.
Breathe Your new life into every part
of my being as I sit in Your presence.
Lord, the depth of our need calls
to the depth of Your grace & mercy.
May we drink deeply of the river
of the water of life and overflow
in blessing to the thirsty world. Amen
