SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR
05/02/2005
My Worship Time Focus: More Worship to Christ the Redeemer
Bible Reading &
Meditation Reference: Revelations 5:13, 14
Message of the verse: “And every created thing which is in heaven
and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I
heard saying, ‘To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and
honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.’
And the four living creatures kept saying, "Amen." And the
elders fell down and worshiped.”
Verse 12
shows that every created thing is now worshiping the Lord Jesus Christ, the
Redeemer of those who have accepted His work on the cross for them. In verse 13 the four living creatures
continue to say “Amen.” And then all of
the elders fell down to worship the Lord Jesus Christ who has the scroll in His
hand. Without Him opening this scroll
then the plan of God would not be finished and this would indeed be a big
problem for all of us who have been saved through His blood.
Spiritual meaning for my life today: Again I must be reminded that the One who is
being worshiped in this passage is Jesus Christ the Redeemer, who sits on a
throne beside God the Father, and deserves all worship because of who He is,
because of where He is, because of what He does, and because of what He
has. He has been lifted up to the place
where He was before coming to earth to become a man and to die on the cross for
my sins, and this is what I must remember in order to worship Him
properly.
The Word of God has been a challenge to my heart as I read
it this morning.
Memory verse for the week:
(Eph. 6: 10-12)
10. Finally, be
strong in the Lord and in the power of His strength. 11.
Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm
against the schemes of the devil. 12.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers,
against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the
spiritual forces of wickedness in the
heavenly places.
