Scripture Revelation 10:6 and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer,

Observation: Sometimes we forget how big our God is. He has created everything including us and owes us nothing, but we owe Him everything. The honor we have to come before Him is unbelievable and that He can love us is beyond our comprehension. How we can put anything before him should be unreal, but we seem to do it all of the time.

Application: God needs to be on the throne of my heart and the first in my thoughts. I need to love the Lord my God with all of my heart, mind and soul each day, He is the reason I exist. I’m called to serve and serve is what I must do and to stay close and allow the Holy Spirit to direct my life.

Prayer Good Morning my Father I dedicate this day to you as I should every day. Use me to help those you desire me to help and speak through your servant that I my honor the creator of all things, the King of the Universe.

Scripture Revelation 9:20 But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.

Observation: Even after all the plagues some will still not repent. This world is falling apart from the evil that is in it and they still don’t accept God, but refuse to repent. There are people that need to hear the word of God and will receive it, but there are others it doesn’t matter what you say or what they see they will have a hard heart. Jesus says not to throw your pearls to the swine so if people don’t respond to your witness, move on to someone else.

Application: I need to do the best I can witnessing to others, but ask for God’s discernment as I speak. If I see that they are not interested continue on and talk to others about the grace and love of God.

Prayer Dear Lord put those in my path that want and need to hear about your loving grace. Use me as you desire to spread the good news of salvation and help them draw close to You.

Scripture Revelation 8:4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand.

Observation: Our prayers are important to God and He cherishes them. Prayers are our conversation with the creator of all things and that He desires to listen to us. What an honor for us to come before the throne of grace with our love and requests to our Holy Father.

Application: I’m so blessed to e able to pray with others to the Father each day. May I always treat them with reverence as a gift from God. I’m allowed to have special moments in His presence and that I may say these prayers with gratitude for the life he has given me.

Prayer Good morning, Lord, I thank you again for the honor to be able to talk with You. Use me today to do your will and allow me to speak to those you put in my path and that those prayers would be brought up to you as incense, a sweet aroma that would be pleasing to You.

Scripture Revelation 7:17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

Observation: My job is to follow Jesus to the living water. To be Shepherded is to follow and trust the shepherd and that is what I’m called to do. He will lead me to heaven and when I get there I will be where I was always meant to be. No longer in turmoil from this world but finally at peace living with the one, I love most.

Application: Each day I need to follow my shepherd’s commands and live the life He has called me to live. Allow the Holy Spirit to direct my path and stay in close contact with Him during the day. I was once that sheep in the hundred that was lost and I need to stay in the fold from now on.

Prayer My Lord thank you for looking for this lost sheep, may I stay close to you as I walk through this earth and be on the lookout for other sheep that may have gone astray. Use me according to your will. I love you and my desire is to please you.

Scripture Revelation 6:4 Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

Observation: The scripture indicates that peace was given to us by God since He will be able to take it away. Our peace and joy come from the Lord and you can already see how peace is being taken away from this earth. We continue to see murder growing in our country, but when all the godly are gone and God’s peace is removed how terrible it’s going to be. Jesus the Prince of Peace will no longer be coming to bring us peace, but the end of things as we know it.

Application: We are called to become peacemakers, the sons of God. As I walk today may I do what God as called me to do and be loving and kind to those I meet. In my home I need to bring peace with no conflict and put the needs of others above my own.

Prayer Dear Holy Spirit guide me to be the man that will be e blessing to God and to others. Help me be a man of peace no matter what might happen today and that I will be pleasing to my Lord.

Scripture Revelation 5:9 And they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And have redeemed us to God by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

Observation: My life should be a new song praising Jesus for my redemption. So often I forget about my Lord’s sacrifice and what He went through so I may be redeemed. I know the man I was and I wasn’t worthy of such a gift as eternal life with my Lord, but He gave himself for me. I should never stop singing His praise.

Application: As I walk, I need to praise God for His sacrifice for me and realize I’m only here because of His grace and love for me. Every opportunity I have I need to speak to others about my Lord and how He gave himself for us.

Prayer Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice that has redeemed me. You are worthy to be the ruler in my life may I always be obedient to you. Put those in my path today that need to hear about your love for them.

Scripture Revelation 4:11 “You are worthy, O Lord,
To receive glory and honor and power;
For You created all things,
And by Your will they exist and were created.”

Observation: Our Lord is worthy of all we have and everything we have He has created. Our lives should give Him glory, and honor for that is why we were created. God didn’t create us for us but to serve Him and others in His name. We need to stop being selfish with our resources and time and use them to please our God. That is true praise.

Application: God has given me this wonderful opportunity to serve Him each day by going out to the strand to talk and pray with others. By doing this I can show Him glory and honor and draw close to my Lord each day. May I never take this for granted but always go out with the Holy Spirit to glorify my Savior.

Prayer Good morning, Lord, I thank you for another opportunity to honor you. Use me as you desire you created me for this purpose and may I use it to please you today. I love you Lord may I draw nearer to you.
