God Will Make All Things New
Following judgments of the 7 vials,
John sees the doom of Babylon.
And a great multitude sings praises
ahead of the marriage 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 a new heaven
and new earth, where God and His
people live in intimate fellowship.
Lord, You will Restore All Things:
I saw a new heaven & a new earth…
Then I saw the holy city, New
Jerusalem… prepared as a bride
adorned for her husband(Rev 21:1-2)
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…
… I am making everything New!
… these words are trustworthy
and true (Rev 21:3-5). And the
glory of God illuminates the city
and… the nations of the earth
will Walk in its Light (v23-24).
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, including making
heaven a place of infinite joy for us.
Praise Yr mighty & holy name. Amen
Lord, help us to see not just the
present challenges, but also the
great future You’ve planned for us.
Illuminate Your Word and assure
us that a wonderful future awaits.
So, flood our minds and hearts with
Your light; grant us wisdom and help
us find the way out of dark places.
Help us to take the long-term view;
and keep us from impatience and
faithlessness. In Jesus’ name, Amen
Lord, Thanks for illuminating Your
Word, taught me & comforted me.
Even as Your light has changed
my life, grant me wisdom and help
me find the way out of dark places.
Look forward to the day when we
will walk in a city where the Lamb is
the light. Look forward to be there
with You and to bask in the light
of Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
