Tuesday – April 2nd – Revelation 22:4     -----     
 
22:4) And they will see his face, and his name will be written on their foreheads.
 
The Daily Walk Bible inspirational thought for today:
     PRAYER AT ITS BEST EMPLOYS FOUR STATEMENTS: THANK YOU; I’M SORRY; TEACH ME; GO WITH ME.*

     Welcome to Tuesday! What a great inspirational thought for today. As I looked over those four components of a power-filled prayer, I must ask myself how they rank in importance to me. In fact, if I am honest, I have added my own personal components into my typical prayers. I am pretty good at telling God what I want, when I want it, and how I want God to deliver on my “demands”. Unfortunately, many of my prayers are absent of one or all of these basics to pray. How about you? Maybe now is a great time to make some adjustments and “reword” the words of our prayers.

     In our pick verse today, we continue to explore the major blessings available for believers in eternity. Connected to the end of yesterday’s pick verse, the inhabitants of New Jerusalem will function as beings blessed to serve and worship the creator for all eternity. One of the marked differences from our human existence is the blessing of being able to see God’s face. Throughout the rest of scripture, the penalty for a face-to-face with God was instant death. To further acknowledge our eternal security in God’s presence believers will carry the name of God on their forehead. That which was only seen by the angels in chapter seven, and in direct contradiction to the mark of the beast in chapter thirteen, God’s name is the visible mark of our eternal reward and inheritance in the Kingdom of God.
