Scripture: Revelations 22: :20 He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

Observation: I can’t wait until Jesus comes and the end of this world of fear, worry, and distress are gone. However, God has me here for a reason and as I look forward to my Lord’s return, I need to be obedient with the time He has given me to fulfill my purpose here.

Application: My motivation for doing God’s work should be that Jesus is coming soon. Whether I’m here for the rapture or I go home to my Father in His timing, I need to be ready. My reward is in heaven and I need to work hard to honor God so that I will be greeted with open arms.

Prayer: My Lord I can’t wait until you get here and rule over this earth as you rule my heart. Give me patience to wait, the strength and discipline to do your will.

Scripture: Revelations 21: 5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

Observation: Jesus made everything new for me when I received Him as Lord of my life. He renewed my mind and allowed me to be born again. His word is trustworthy and true and He keeps all His promises.

Application: I need to do more than read and learn His word, I need to believe that each word is trustworthy and true. He has never lied to me or let me down. He made me for a purpose and He will complete it to the end. Once I know that completely, I’ll live my life in victory.

Prayer: Dear God thank you for your word and keeping each promise. Put in my heart all you desire of me, may I meditate on your word at all times.

Scripture: Revelations 20: [13] The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done.

Observation: I know I have eternal life through Christ, yet I know I will be judged for what I did and what I should have done. It is a sin not to do what I know God wants me to. My laziness will cost me when I enter my Savior’s presence. God has a plan for my life and a purpose for me to fulfill, but He allows me the choice whether to do it or not.

Application: I need to set goals for the things I know I should do. I need to spend time each morning and ask for guidance from my Lord to see what His desires are for my life that day.

Prayer: My Lord open my eyes to your desires. Give me the strength and discipline to fulfill my purpose in glory and honor to you.

Scripture: Revelations 19: 9 Then the angel said to me, “Write: `Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”

Observation: I normally don’t care to be invited anywhere. I like the freedom of choosing where and when I go somewhere, but this is an invitation I’m not going to miss. I don’t deserve, but because I invited Jesus to come into my life, He has invited me to spend eternity with Him. An invitation of love, how can anyone pass on that?

Application: I need to tell others about this wonderful wedding supper. The more the merrier, since God wants none to perish, but all to be invited. I need to be a light and an invitation to others.

Prayer: My Lord take the focus off of me and put it on what you desire of me. Use me to invite others to your banquet.

Scripture: Revelations 18: :14 “They will say, `The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your riches and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.’

Observation: I still spend too much time trying to attain the riches of this world. I keep looking at cars, which I don’t need. I make my house a prize possession, yet when the Lord calls me home all of it is lost. Why can’t I let it go and use the money God has given me to build my treasures in heaven? Why spend so much on something I will lose?

Application: I need to think before I spend, do I need this, what else could I do with this money that would glorify God? I’m only here for a short while longer, I need to get busy to finish what God has called me to do.

Prayer: My Lord all that I have comes from you and belongs to you. Show me how to use it to glorify and honor You.

Scripture: Revelations 16: 15 “Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed.”

Observation: When I get too involved in this world it’s like falling asleep in Christ. I get wrapped up in worldly affairs and forget why God put me here. I become naked to Christ because I don’t have the clothes of righteousness on.

Application: I get caught up in things of this world and I need to focus on Christ and be ready when He returns. I can’t allow my Lord to find me sleeping when He returns. Each day I need to be busy doing His will in my life. There should not be a moment in my day that I would be ashamed of if He returned at that moment.

Prayer: My Lord give me a dose of spiritual no-doze. Keep me alert to the schemes of the devil. May my focus be of you each moment of the day.

Scripture: Revelations 12: [9] The great dragon was hurled down–that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

Observation: The devil has been defeated and no longer has power over my life. He may tempt me, but he cannot harm me for I belong to Christ. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me and that includes avoiding Satan’s temptations.

Application: Every time I worry I give Satan a stronghold in my life. I need to be focused on Christ, knowing He is the victor, my Lord and my Savior. When troubles come, I should pray and draw nearer to God and He will lead me to victory.

Prayer: My Lord place in my heart your desires. Strengthen me in this battle of life and show me how to have victory of the accuser of this world.
