“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of heavenly forces!
All the earth is filled with God’s glory!”
REVELATION 14:7 (CEB)
The angel said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship the one who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”
THE ESSENCE
The end game is the glory of God.
DAILY FODDER
What does the angel in Revelation 14 mean when he says, "Fear God and give him glory"? What does glory look like? If that's the end game, how do we train for it now?
PRAYER
Almighty Creator God, you deserve all glory. I confess that I can be ho-hum about your greatest. Even though I know it as a theological reality, I rarely think or talk about it. Train me to become a serious worshipper so that on the day of the worship service at the end of time, I'll be able to keep up with everyone else as they declare your glory. I'm going to sing of your greatness and glory. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
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.
