They fell on their faces and worshipped God saying:
Rev 11:17 ~ We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty,
Who Is and Who Was
for you have taken
your great power
and begun to
reign.
Rev 11:18 ~ It is the Time for rewarding your servants
all those both Small and Great
who Fear Your Name.
We live in such a celebrity society.
Thousands upon Thousands know about the death today
of Miss Venzuela who lost her battle with cancer.
Only a handful know about the death of my friend
who Slipped into God's Very Presence last week
fighting cancer to the very last day.
Both Small and Great will be rewarded
Not just The Beautiful, The Popular, The Successful.
His Eye is on you. Nothing escapes His Gaze.
Grateful that I don't have to be a celebrity for the Holy One to see me!
ReplyDelete"Jesus is now the Lord; He is enthroned at the right hand of God; He is reigning in His kingdom. But this is a Lordship and a kingly reign which is known only to believers. It must be confessed by faith. His Second Coming will mean nothing less than the Lordship which is His now will be visible to all the world. When we pray, "Thy kingdom come," this is what we are praying for: the effectual and universal rule of Christ in all the world, not only over believers."--George Eldon Ladd,

I was a little stumped on the twenty-four elders' prayer, "for You have begun to reign..." We've only seen a glimpse of His great power and glory.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the Hands of the living God (Hebrews 10:31)... Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
