Thursday – August 3rd – Revelation 9:6     -----    
 
9:6) In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
 
The Daily Walk Bible inspirational thought for today:
      UNLESS THE HEART IS FULL, EVEN A RICH PERSON IS POOR.*

     Welcome to Thursday! What does your Saturday morning look like. If it is free from any unchangeable activity, have I got a deal for you. Saturday is our quarterly Serve Saturday mission outreach. We extend the SunRise reach out into our community with a variety of activities focused on helping others discover a relationship with Jesus. Some of the options include The Sharing Shed, Food Bag Packing, Prep Freezer Meals, and new for this month Gardening @ Seed St. Louis. For more information on these opportunities and the list of all the options, go to the “Events” section on either the SunRise webpage or app. Thanks for sharing your heart of service with others.

      In our pick verse today, John continues to list the horrors that will befall the earth as God methodically brings it to a conclusion. You may already be feeling that this is heavy and heartbreaking stuff to read. Yes, it is, and it will only get worse as the next two plagues are unleashed. The gruesomeness of this verse speaks to the depths of the horrors to come. Conditions will be so bad that death will seem like the better choice and the only escape. It is difficult to imagine the nightmare of such unspeakable physical agony for those who remain in the world, longing to die yet remaining alive to experience even worse. The once proud and arrogant of the world are being humbled by the God, they insisted on denying exists.  

Blessings
