SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 08/29/2005
My Worship Time Focus:
An Angel Preaching the Gospel
Bible Reading &
Meditation Reference: Revelations 14:6-7
Message of the verse: “6 And I saw another angel flying in
midheaven, having an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on the earth,
and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people; 7 and he said with a loud
voice, ‘Fear God, and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has
come; worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of
waters.’”
It is hard
to know for sure how much angels are involved in the process of salvation here
on earth at this time, but I would think that angels have a lot to do with it
especially in the area of “circumstances.”
At this point in the tribulations period, just before the last judgments
are to be sent upon planet earth and it’s inhabitants an angel will fly in the
midheaven to give out the eternal message of the Gospel to all those who are on
the earth. The midheaven is where the
sun is at noon, or the highest point in heaven.
Verse seven gives part of his message and it is about not fearing, not
fearing Satan, the Antichrist, or other circumstances that are going on at this
time because the time of God’s judgment is about to unfold on planet earth and
one may not be able to save his body, but if one accepts the message of the
Gospel their soul will be delivered to be with Jesus Christ forever. The angel appeals to the people to worship
the God of creation, the One who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and
the springs of water. To understand that
God did in fact create the heavens and the earth is a step closer to realizing
what one needs to know concerning how to be saved.
Spiritual meaning for my life today: Again I want to think about the role that
angels have in the spreading of the Gospel and the possibility of how it was
done in my life and thus praising the Lord for their activity. I know that at this time the Lord has given
the job of preaching the Gospel to His Church, but again I do think it is
possible that angels are involved in some ways, and I can think back to a time
in the summer of 1970 or 1971 when I was not saved yet and was ridding my
motorcycle with a friend of mine and a car had to drive off of the road to miss
hitting me because I was not watching what I was doing and if that car would
have hit me it is hard to realize what would have happened, and I think that
this could be a time when an angel was involved in saving my life.
The Word of God has been convicting to my heart as I read it
this morning.
My Steps of Faith
Today: Continue to trust the Lord
with all of the trials and decisions that are going on in my life today.
Memory verses for the week:
1Corthians 13:1-3
If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not
have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all
mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove
mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my
body to be burned, but do not have love, it prophets me nothing.
