Thoughts in Worship
Message Magazine's Online Devotional for Monday, October 26, 2015
Valuable Resource:
For a fuller understanding of the biblical Bride of Christ, please enjoy the Bible study titled, “The Bride of Christ” brought to you by Amazingfacts.org.

Today’s Scripture:
“And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.” (Revelation 19:6–9).
Today’s Observation:
At a critical point in our earth’s history we will finally reach a place of no return. We will not return to sin. We will not return to prevailing evil. We will not return to the deception of anyone that loves the Lord. We will not return to confusion concerning God’s clear teachings in His Holy Word.
In Revelation 19 is represented a jubilant scene of worship! Heavenly beings are rejoicing to finally see the day that the deceptive power Satan has wielded over the inhabitants of the earth through false doctrine, spiritualism, and usurped authority, is finally broken and poised for destruction. They rejoice to see the day that Daniel referenced where Jesus receives His kingdom fully of saints who have chosen on their own (not by force) to love God, and have passed through His pre-advent judgment with flying colors, having their characters purified by Jesus’ victory. They rejoice to have a sneak peek at the purified people of God join together with the holy city of God, which will be arrayed in all their splendor after thousand years are finished (more on this when we discuss Revelation 21). Most of All, they rejoice to see Jesus who“…hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” (Revelation 19:16).
Conclusion:
Have you ever been so weary from trials that you couldn’t take anymore? Have you ever begged God to relieve you before you lost your mind? Have you ever longed to see the day when you could be happy and rejoice again (or for the first time for that matter)? Just imagine this feeling intensified by a hundredfold, and then imagine the day Jesus ends all of your suffering forever. These and more will be the experiences of all who accept God’s love for us, and allow Him create in us righteous characters. The trials will intensify, but one day soon, God will finally deliver us once and for all.
Don’t worry! Bills, trials, hunger, pain, war, crazy weather patterns, and all evil will soon be eradicated. But before this happens, we all need to decide whether we trust God fully or not, and whether or not we are willing to help others trust Him through these difficult times. If ever there were a time to give up, it is not now. We are too close to the finish line. Do you trust God to take you all of the way to victory?
A Prayer for Your Hearts:
Lord, please give us all ears to hear the voice of our loving Shepherd who is calling us to eternal safety in you. In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.--L. David Harris (www.davidwritesalot.com)
