Read 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Reflect What do you think it means to pray without ceasing? Imagine trying to have a meaningful relationship with someone you never talk to. That individual talks with you, but you don’t reply. They send you messages that you occasionally read, but you don’t respond. Communicating is completely a one-way street. How meaningf

Read 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, 13 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends…So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. Reflect As you read today’s verse, did you spot any

Day 1   In a Single Moment  READ   Revelation 18:9-10   9 And the kings of the world who committed adultery with her and enjoyed her great luxury will mourn for her as they see the smoke rising from her charred remains. 10 They will stand at a distance, terrified by her great torment. They will cry out, “How terrible, how terrible for you, O Babylon, you great city! In a single moment God’s judgment came on you.”     The voice from heaven continued with this announcement abou

Day 1   Never Heard Again  READ   Revelation 18:21-22   21 Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a huge millstone. He threw it into the ocean and shouted, “Just like this, the great city Babylon will be thrown down with violence and will never be found again. 22 The sound of harps, singers, flutes, and trumpets will never be heard in you again. No craftsmen and no trades   will ever be found in you again. The sound of the mill will never be heard in you again.”

Day 1   READ   Revelation 19:7-8   7 “Let us be glad and rejoice, and let us give honor to him. For the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb, and his bride has prepared herself. 8 She has been given the finest of pure white linen to wear.” For the fine linen represents the good deeds of God’s holy people.     It seems the “bride” refers to the Church-age believers. The Bible distinguishes between the Church, Israel and the Gentiles (see 1 Corinthians 10:32). Dresse

Day 1 READ   Revelation 19:19   19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the world and their armies gathered together to fight against the one sitting on the horse and his army.     As referred to in Revelation 13, the “beast” is the Antichrist. He seems to be over all the kings and armies of the world and at the end gathers them all to fight against the Lord Jesus Christ. The outcome will not be good for the wicked kings and armies.   REFLECT   No army is able to conquer the

Day 1 READ   Revelation 20:7-9   7 When the thousand years come to an end, Satan will be let out of his prison. 8 He will go out to deceive the nations—called Gog and Magog—in every corner of the earth. He will gather them together for battle—a mighty army, as numberless as sand along the seashore. 9 And I saw them as they went up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded God’s people and the beloved city. But fire from heaven came down on the attacking armies and consum

Day 1 READ   Revelation 21:1-2   1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. 2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.     Instead of the old heaven and the old earth, the apostle John now sees a new heaven and new earth. Instead of an old earth covered by so much water, the new earth will have no sea. John al

Day 1 READ   Revelation 21:12-14   12 The city wall was broad and high, with twelve gates guarded by twelve angels. And the names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written on the gates. 13 There were three gates on each side—east, north, south, and west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.     The mention of the twelve tribes of Israel and their arrangement around the city is a reminder

Day 1 READ   Revelation 22:1-2   1 Then the angel showed me a river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 It flowed down the center of the main street. On each side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations.     This passage reveals the beauty of the New Jerusalem. It also reveals God will provide abundantly for all o
