The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 29:20 (HCSB)
20 Do you see a man who speaks too soon? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 129:3-4 (HCSB)
3 Plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long.
4 The LORD is righteous; He has cut the ropes of the wicked.
The Word of God for encouragement:
Revelation 1:1-3 (HCSB)
1 The revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave Him to show His slaves what must quickly take place. He sent it and signified it through His angel to His slave John,
2 who testified to God's word and to the testimony about Jesus Christ, in all he saw.
3 The one who reads [this] is blessed, and those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep what is written in it are blessed, because the time is near!
My observation:
Today I begin reading the last book of the bible. My focus will be reading this book with the purpose of reviewing the past, living obediently and faithful in the present, and looking with hope and anticipation to the future.
My ultimate goal is to discover and apply what I read to becoming more and more like the person that God purposed me to be. Every one of us has a God ordained purpose for being alive. What he did for Jeremiah, he also did for you and me.
Jeremiah 1:5 (HCSB)
5 I chose you before I formed you in the womb; I set you apart before you were born. I appointed you a prophet to the nations.
There is a blessing for those who read and heed this book; I want to open my eyes to see, my ears to hear, and my heart to obey all that God says to me in his word, and by his Spirit.
Revelation 1:3 (HCSB)
3 The one who reads [this] is blessed, and those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep what is written in it are blessed, because the time is near!
My prayer:
Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I am so grateful for all of the blessings I have received from your heart and your hands. Father, I shudder to think about where I would be without the Lord in my life.
Father God, as I read this blessed book, I pray that I will read it with an attitude of gratitude for all that you have done for me in the past; what you are doing in the present, and for what you will do in the future.
Revelation 22:20-21 (HCSB)
20 He who testifies about these things says, "Yes, I am coming quickly." Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.

5 I wait for Yahweh; I wait and put my hope in His word.
6 I ⌊wait⌋ for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning— more than watchmen for the morning.
