Scripture: Revelation 2: 26 To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations–

Observation: I have a hard time overcoming my desires of this world. Too much of my time is focused on things here and not building my treasures in heaven. My desire to relax, have fun, own stuff most of the time overrides God’s will. Instead of overriding I need to overcome these desires.

Application: I need to put God’s will number one in my life. There needs to be nothing more important than pleasing God. I need to set goals in my life for what God desires and finish this race well.

Prayer: Dear Lord set on my heart the things of you. Open my heart so that I may hear from you.

Scripture: Revelation 1: [3] Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.

Observation: I do want to be blessed even though I don’t deserve it, God continues to bless. I need to make sure I do more than read, I need to hear it and take it to heart. Most of the time I read and my mind wanders and I forget what I just read.

Application: I need to do more than read God’s word. First, I need to realize that this is God’s word, the most important thing on this earth, His directions on how He wants me to live this life. I need to study and meditate on His word. Then take it to heart and live my life according to it.

Prayer: My Lord give me the discipline to live your word. Place it in my heart and may I have it always throughout my days.
