SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 06/02/2005
My Worship Time Focus: More prayers
Bible Reading &
Meditation Reference: Revelations 8:2-3
Message of the verse: “2 And I saw the seven angels who stand
before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. 3 Another angel came and stood at the altar,
holding a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might
add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before
the throne.”
Verse two
is speaking of the angles who will be blowing the trumpets so that the
judgments will take place. There are seven
angels each having a trumpet.
Verse three
speaks of something very Jewish as far as their ceremony and practice goes that
was practiced in the OT. The priests
would take fire from the alter, or hot coals, and then start the fire to burn
incense to the Lord. This was done two
times a day, in the morning and in the evening.
It is thought by some that Aaron’s sons who died by offering strange
fire were doing this procedure the wrong way when the Lord killed them.
The incense
is a picture of the prayers of the saints that come up to God as a pleasing
aroma.
Spiritual meaning for my life today: Prayer is such an important part of the
believers walk with the Lord, and prayer is very hard work. It is easy to forget my prayer time in the
morning when I would be most effective in doing it right after I do my
devotions. I certainly need to be a
better prayer warrior, and take it much more seriously because of the
importance it holds.
The Word of God has brought conviction to my heart as I read
it this morning.
My Steps of Faith
Today: To have a better prayer time
with the Lord.
