SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 06/14/2005
My Worship Time Focus: God is still in Control
Bible Reading &
Meditation Reference: Revelations 8:8-9
Message of the verse: “8 Then the second angel blew his trumpet,
and a great mountain of fire was thrown into the sea. And one-third of the
water in the sea became blood. 9 And
one-third of all things living in the sea died. And one-third of all the ships
on the sea were destroyed.”
This second
trumpet judgment is another judgment that is on the earth, while the latter
judgments have demons involved with them.
I have heard different things to help describe this judgment, such as
the burning mountain that was thrown into the sea could be a missile with a
cobalt bomb on it that would cause the sea to turn red from the cobalt such as
seen in “red” tides. It could also be a
meteor that comes from outer space. At
any rate God is in charge of sending these judgments to His earth and this one
will be very bad as it will cause a third of the sea to turn to blood, or at least
red, and a third of all marine life to die and a third of all ships to be
destroyed, and this will have a devastation effect upon those who live on
planet earth.
Spiritual meaning for my life today: Even the judgments that come from God are in
a sense a part of His grace because God is trying to get the attention of those
who live on planet earth to recognize Him for who He is that they may turn to
Him in repentance and accept the Lord Jesus Christ’s work on the cross as
payment for their sins. In the same way
God can send trouble into my life in order to guide me into a direction that He
wants me to go in, and this trouble could be as a result of sin or like in
Job’s case to show others that I continue tot trust the Lord in spite of
troubles.
The Word of God has been a challenge to my heart this
morning as I read and thought about it.
My Steps of Faith
Today: Continue to trust the Lord in
spite of the troubles that I am going through with finances.
