S)"18 And the nations were enraged, and Your wrath came, and the time came for the dead to be judged, and the time to reward Your bond-servants the prophets and the saints and those who fear Your name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth."
Revelation 11:18 (NASB)
O) So, Jesus will return and the dead will be judged; that's expected and pretty well known. Also, the people of God, those who fear His name, will be rewarded - also pretty well known. But what really grabbed me, was that He will destroy those who "destroy the earth." God cares about His creations, the people, but also the earth and the things in it.
A) I need to honor God in all areas of my life. There is my salvation first, and leading my family, but I also need to be a good steward of my body (being healthy) and a good steward of the things God has given me. From money, to the upkeep of my home, even recycling and not being wasteful, I need to honor God with all of my behavior. I need to act responsibly, so that God will be glorified.
P) Father, You are the Creator of all things. I want to magnify Your name, Lord. When people look at my life, I want it to be a reflection of Your goodness to me. I want them to see that You are a good God, worth our devotion, servitude, faithfulness, and gratitude. Help me to know where my life needs improvement, Lord. Continue to shape me, and push me, toward being the man You intend me to be, God. In Jesus' name, amen.
