The Word for wisdom:
Proverbs 20:12 (NLT)
Ears to hear and eyes to see— both are gifts from the Lord.
The Word for inspiration:
Psalm 119:49-50 (NLT)
49 Remember your promise to me; it is my only hope. 50 Your promise revives me; it comforts me in all my troubles.
The Word for encouragement:
Revelation 7:9-10 (NLT)
9 After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes and held palm branches in their hands. 10 And they were shouting with a mighty shout, "Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne and from the Lamb!"
My observation:
There are so many things that the child of God has to be thankful for. Everything that we have is a gift from God. We may experience trials and troubles while we travel through this world, but this world is not our home. We have a better day coming. Our past may be dark, our present may be bleak, but our future is bright. We have the blessed hope that one day these ears will hear what Paul's ears heard, "Well done thou good and faithful servant", and our eyes will see what John saw in our focal passage from Revelation.
My prayer:
Father God, my dear Father, I am so thankful that one day I will see and experience what the Apostle John saw. Father, my heart burns within me as I think about standing before God the Father, and God the Son, Jesus my Savior and Lord. What a glorious day that will be. Father, give me the grace to stay faithful until that day. Hallelujah!
