Hallelujah

Scripture: Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,

"Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God
    the Almighty reigns."

Revelation 19:6

 

Observation: I look forward to singing Hallelujah before the throne of God, along with billions of others. What an amazing life it will be to celebrate the wedding of the lamb - to sing rejoice, and bask in the love of God forever.

 

Application: As we end another year, I know that the coming of Jesus is closer. I do not know the day or hour of his return, so I know I must be ready in heart, mind, and body. I must make my life - my daily, everyday, walking-around life - a living sacrifice to God, as my spiritual act of continual worship.

 

Prayer: Lord, I have a HUGE decision ahead of me, and I am praying for your guidance explicitly in this context - that whatever I am to do is directly connected to where I can best serve you and bring your word and grace and love and joy and good news into this dark corner of the world. I want to make my waking moments a sacrifice to you, and someday I want to sing with the multitude - to sound like roaring water - with songs that celebrate you. Please give me your guidance and wisdom. Amen, and amen.
