Words Of The Son Of God

To the angel of the church in Thyatira write:  These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze.  I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.  Nevertheless I have this against you:  You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess.  By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.  I have given her time to repent of her immortality  but she is unwilling.  So I will cast her on a bed of suffering  and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely  unless they repent of her ways.  I will strike her children dead.  Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.  Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan's so-called deep secrets (I will not impose any other burden on you):  Only hold on to what you have until I come.  To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations - "He will rule them with and iron scepter; he will dash them to pieces like pottery - just as I have received authority from my Father.  I will also give him the morning star.  He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Revelation 2:18-28 NIV

The people in the days of Noah and Lot were all feeling good about themselves.  They thought that they were relatively good people.  At least the average citizen, tax paying, law abiding run of the mill man, woman or child.

Yet God flooded the earth because He grieved in His heart that He had even created them.  God also destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because Lot couldn't find 12 righteous, believing, people that would listen to him.

I am thankful for an ark that was provided for anyone who wanted to be saved, and a message through a man of God that would have provided protection.

Today Jesus Christ is offering us His protection and says He will "not impose any other burden on you".

We must do those things that we did when we were first saved by His grace.

We must hold  on to Him.

By His strength we must overcome and DO His will until the end.

Psalm 8

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!  You have set your glory above the heavens.  From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.  When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?  You make him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.  You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.  O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all he earth!
NIV

PRAYER

LORD God of heaven and earth, you are glorious beyond understanding.
The most innocent and youngest among us look to you and are in awe of you.
This mutes the voice of the enemy.

God in your creativity of the universe, the galaxies that move in harmony with the heavenly planets,
all placed there by your fingertips, who am I but a speck that you should even think about me.

Still humanity has a responsibility to care and manage all living things whether they live in the sky, land or seas.

I praise the name of the All powerful, knowing, present One; Elohim.
Amen
