Lord,
As I finish this year, I ask you to keep me faithful in reading and meditating on Your Word in the coming year. Reveal Yourself to me so that I might know you in a much deeper and more personal way. Make what I have read in Your Word a reality in my life.

Lord,
Keep my heart tender and supple, listening carefully to everything that you say to me. Help me to obey immediately and not delay because I think my way is better. Help me to crucify my flesh so that You might reign unhindered.

Revelation parallels Amos where God sent all this judgment but still the people did not return to HIm. The message is one of simplicity: "Seek Me and live." "Woe to those who are ease in Zion." I wonder could that apply to America, to us in this time period. Is the church today at ease in Zion? The prophets and the book of Revelation paint a very nasty picture of what the wrath of God and the judgment of God are like. If God detested sin so strongly in that time, doesn't He detest our sins as well? Doesn't He detest my sin as well?

Lord,
Make me aware of your wrath and judgment not just your grace. Help me to live in a way that honors You. Am I at ease in Zion?
Through Your Son,

You are worthy of all my praise. Jesus, the Lamb, thank you for dying for me and for making me part of your kingdom and one of your priests. Thank you for ransoming me.

Because of what Jesus has done for me, I need to continually offer a sacrifice of praise to God. This praise is to be the fruit of my lips acknowledging His name. In what way? It certainly has to be more than saying "praise God' continually. Although I can see that that would even be good. How does this impact my daily life? How can my praise have the meaing and import that it should? How does my praise bring glory to God? I know that I praise Him continually because everything that God sends my way is ordained by God and is for my good, conforming me to the image of His Son. I praise HIm for blessings and for suffering. Yet, I am not sure about the 'continual' part. Is this an attitude and not so much words? Is conformity to the Son the key? If I am conformed to HIm, then certainly I would be rejecting this world, its pleasures, and its overall all-consuming system. I would be bearing the reproach by rejecting all that the world values. No doubt all of this would affect my praise.

How do I make these great verses a reality in my life? So much to pray about.

Spirit,
Illuminate this word in my spirit and mind. Make the eyes of my heart see so that my life may bring glory to God.
Through the One that I am to praise continually,
Amen.]]> http://satisfiedinjesus.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=243 http://satisfiedinjesus.org/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=243 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:42:11 -0800 Marcy God disciplines me because I am His daughter. I am part of His family. He wants me to be subject to Him, to be surrendered to His will and His Word. All His discipline is for my good. I don't ever have to worry about Him being angry with me and disciplining me out of anger. He has my best interest at His heart. Beyond that, He wants me to share His holiness. "Discipline yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it." So if I am disciplined and don't allow myself to be trained, it has all been for naught. What I am wondering is when does discipline come into play as compared to a trial? Is a trial discipline? Certainly holiness could be produced from both of them. If holiness results, should I pray for discipline? I am sure I have enough areas in my life to provide an abundant area for discipline. How do discipline and the mercy of God balance? So many questions about this passage.

God,
I know that You love me and discipline me for my good. Through Your Spirit, teach me what all this means practically in my life. Show me how to share in Your holiness and to have the fruit of righteousness in my life. Keep my attitude right toward trials, disciplines, etc., toward anything that You put in my life.
Through Your Son who suffered at the cost of His life,

Why would it be a habit not to meet together? That seems to speak of a long, well established pattern. What has replaced the desire of believers to meet with one another? Since the meeting together is the body of Christ and is composed by God to show the fulness of Jesus Christ, shouldn't we want to meet together? Since our meeting together helps to stir us up to love and good works, wouldn't it help us to grow in the Lord? It is a strange phenonmenon that Christians don't want to meet together. Is it the pull of the world, possessions, and commitments that have superceded what the believer should desire? I should cherish and value the body of Christ. I should look forward to meeting together so that I may encourage others, and they may encourage me. It speaks to my heart. I know I look forward to church, to listening, to the teaching, to worshipping in song, but how do I feel about encouraging and stirring up others to good works?

Lord, give me a love for Your body. Build that bond to be what You desire it to be. Let Your love flow in me and out to others.
