Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer ,
December 27, 2024: Revelation 1-4
Title: "What God Expects"

SCRIPTURE: Revelation (NIV) 1:1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, …
4 John, To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne,

OBSERVATION: The revelation God gave to John, was not because John was so special that he would know things that no one else could know. It was given to him so that he could pass it on, “to show his servants…” It was not just for John; John was to pass along to others; so he identifies himself: “John,” and tells to whom he is writing: “To the seven churches in the province of Asia.”

As we consider all the major characters in the Bible, people singled out by God to receive His special consideration, we must come to the conclusion that God was not just working in them, but THROUGH them. Consider the Virgin Mary!

APPLICATION: I believe that it is not just the major Bible characters to which God was speaking to and working in for the benefit of others. I believe God is still working in that way today.

God has two expectations from us for what He tells us and what He does for us. First He expects to receive thanks and praise from us. And second, He expects us to tell others that He is working TODAY!!!

PRAYER: Lord, we take inspiration from the scriptures of what you did in Bible days, but we grow in faith as we see and hear of what you are doing today. You are God today! You are my God just as you were the God of Moses and of Mary. Find me faithful to TELL OTHERS that you are interested in today and what you are doing today. Amen
