When I have broken their chains of slavery and rescued them from those who enslaved them, then they will know that I am the LORD.
REVELATION 21:4 (NCB)
He will wipe every tear from their eyes,
and there will no longer be death.
Neither will there be any mourning or crying or pain,
for the old order has passed away.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Live lives that anticipate the relief of divine deliverance.
DAILY FODDER
What kind of relief are you most anticipating?
PRAYER
Divine Deliverer, you have a strong history of rescuing those who call out to you. And you are promising a future where the pain that dominates this world will be eliminated. Forgive me for getting so caught up in the challenges of today that I fail to remember your promised relief. Show me how to live through today's pain confident of your promises. I understand that through Christ things won't always be this way and I will let the reality of that future shape the present. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
