SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 02/01/2005
My Worship Time Focus: What John Saw
Bible Reading &
Meditation Reference: Rev 1:13
Message of the verse: 13 and
in the middle of the lampstands I saw one like a son of man, clothed in a robe
reaching to the feet, and girded across His chest with a golden sash. (NAS95)
13 And standing in the middle of the lampstands was the Son of Man. He
was wearing a long robe with a gold sash across his chest. (NLT)
The verse
says that Christ was in the middle of the lampstands, and the lampstands are
representing of the Church, so Christ is seen as in the middle of the
Churches. John’s description is similar
to one found in Daniel’s book that of one like the son of man. The robe that He is wearing could speak His
righteousness, and gold most always speaks of Deity. John is beginning to describe what it is that
is going on at the beginning of this revelation, and will continue to describe
the appearance of Christ.
Spiritual meaning for my life today: I would say that the most meaningful thing
that comes out of this verse is that Jesus Christ is standing in the midst of
His Churches, and this gives encouragement to my heart to know that nothing
will happen to His bride without Him being involved in it.
The Word of God has brought encouragement to my heart as I
read it this morning.
My Steps of Faith
Today: Continue to trust the Lord in
the midst of all that is going on around us, especially with what has happened
to Kim’s child that is now dead inside her womb. I trust that the Lord will handle this in a
way that will be right, and pleasing to Him, along with giving comfort to Kim
and Tim.
