Today’s Bible Reading:
Ezekiel 36-37; Revelation 19
Journal Entry on a passage from today’s reading:
Topic: Worship
SCRIPTURE: Revelation 19:10
At this I fell at his (the
angel’s) feet to worship him. But he said
to me, "Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your
brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! (Rev 19:10 NIV)
OBSERVATION:
This is a strong word to worship God only! There are good
men and good angels who bring good messages and may do great deeds. Praise God
for them, but do not afford them honor that is due only to God. If they are
truly servants of the Lord, they will shun that type of praise and worship.
APPLICATION:
Do I crave the adulation of men? When I receive accolades,
do I receive them for myself or do I truly direct all glory to God?
PRAYER:
Father God I love You and worship You alone. My life—my
joy—my fulfillment is to be Your servant. Forgive me when I covet the acclaim
of people. May I ever be reminded to return all glory to You. All that I have,
all that I do, all that I accomplish is due to Your graciousness. Help me
remember that.
Through Christ. Amen.
