Monday – June 26th – Revelation 5:7-8 ------
5:7) Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.
8) Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
The Daily Walk Bible inspirational thought for today:
TOO OFTEN CHRISTIAN UNITY CAN BE ILLUSTRATED BY TWO COLD PORCUPINES HUDDLING TOGETHER—THEY NEED EACH OTHER, BUT THEY NEEDLE EACH OTHER.*
Hello Monday! What a great inspirational thought for us today. If you have been part of a church for any length of time you are probably well experienced in the reality of this statement. We Christians can be some of the most loving, care, thoughtful, and/or giving people in the entire world. And, yet at other times Christianity seems to have the greatest struggles in getting along with other believers. I have seen Christians get all out of shape over carpet colors, occupied pews, mode of baptism, worship space appearance, hats in the building, service times, etc.…. Sadly, these devil instigated temptations that encourage us to “needle” each other only serve to distract the church from doing kingdom work here on earth. Let us agree to rise above “needling” and spend more time “needing” each other.
In our pick verses today, Jesus begins the process of opening the scrolls and setting in motion God’s perfect, promised, and planned end of the world. When Jesus, the Lamb of God, takes the scroll He is showing all Heaven that only He can execute God’s plan of redemption. He is praised by all in His presence as being the Redeemer, just as the Father was praised as being the Creator. The “payers of the saints” are compared to the pleasing aroma of the peace offering ascending to God as was established for the Jewish people in the Old Testament book of Leviticus.
Blessings
