when the Spirit invites, I will come

As we come to the end
of this year, I will not neglect
this, the last book of the Bible.

Fear creeps in to some
who don't know what to make
of this book of Revelation.

But God is certain to let us
know that we are blessed
to read it, to be curious,
to seek wisdom and knowledge.

And He gives generously
to those who lean into Him.

Do I... will I...
understand every line,
every word, every prophecy?
No.

Do I... will I...
glorify God in the seeking?
Yes.

He who has an ear, let him hear
what the Spirit says
to the churches.
To him who overcomes
I will give to eat
from the tree of life, which is
in the midst of the Paradise of God.
Revelation 2:7 NKJV

For I long to overcome.
And there it is...
that word I love so well,
NIKE!

It challenges me to take on more.
It spurs me to be courageous,
to stand tall and put on my armor.

For this victory is not about me,
but about good verses evil,
about Heaven verses Hell.

And I will stand up for the glory
of my God who stood up for me.

Let us not fear
what we don't understand.

Rather let us pray
our way in and through it.

Turn away from evil and do good;
Seek peace and pursue it.
The eyes of the Lord
are toward the righteous
And His ears are open to their cry.
Psalm 34:14-15

Word of God
train me today...
To seek to know more.

To hear what the Spirit says, that I may
overcome and receive goodness
from the tree of life.
