Revelation 7

John sees four angels holding back the winds of the earth until God's servants are sealed. Another angel appears with the seal of the living God, marking 144,000 from the twelve tribes of Israel, symbolizing God’s protection over His people. After this, John sees a great multitude that no one can count, from every nation, tribe, people, and language, standing before the throne and the Lamb. They are clothed in white robes and hold palm branches, crying out in worship as the heavenly hosts praise God. One of the elders explains that they have come out of great tribulation and have been made clean by the blood of the Lamb. They serve God day and night, and He will shelter them, wipe away every tear, and be their shepherd forever.

We are reminded that God knows and seals His people. No matter what happens on earth, we are not forgotten. We belong to Him, and He protects those who trust in the Lamb. The great multitude shows us that His grace reaches every nation and every people. We are part of something much larger than ourselves—a global family of faith. When we go through trials, we are not alone. God sees our struggles and promises to bring comfort, healing, and peace. One day, we will stand before His throne, washed clean by the blood of the Lamb. Until then, we worship, serve, and wait with hope, knowing that our Shepherd walks with us every step of the way.

Loving God, You see every heart and gather people from every nation to stand before Your throne. Thank You for sealing and protecting those who belong to You. When we face hardship, remind us that we are not forgotten. You are our shelter, our comfort, and our Protector. Wash us clean through the blood of the Lamb, and help us remain faithful in every season. Fill our hearts with hope as we look forward to the day when every tear will be wiped away. Let our lives be filled with worship, and may we serve You daily with joy and trust.
