Day 28: The Reigning Power That Draws Multitudes to His Throne
Revelation 19:6
Last year, we lived in an area of our country that experienced the totality of the solar eclipse. By the power of God’s Word at the beginning of creation, He set into motion what was revealed to millions of people on that April 8, 2024. People came from all over the country to observe the wonder of God’s creation and experience a one-time event in most people’s lives. When the time of the totality arrived, it was so awe-inspiring that people began to cheer and shout with great joy. The response of the crowd was, “It was spectacular,” “amazing,” and “beyond anything I imagined.”
In the same way that God’s creation drew people to the solar eclipse, Jesus is drawing multitudes of people from all creation to Himself with great praise and applause. People will respond with even louder cheers and greater joy when encountering the living Christ. People traveled many miles to see the eclipse because they heard the stories of what the experience would be like. Our stories of the wonder and truth of Jesus from biblical accounts and our personal experiences with Jesus will draw people from every family, neighborhood, city, tribe, and nation to the throne of Jesus along with the 24 elders and multitudes of angels. Share your personal stories so others will also experience the power, awe, and wonder of the One who created the sun and the moon.
Reflection Prayer
O Lord, Your Word teaches us that Your creation proclaims Your power, wonder, and glory. As we observe Your awesome creation each day, may we remember Your reigning power is drawing people from all over the world to Yourself. May we be prepared each moment to share our stories about Your presence, Your forgiveness, and Your victory in our lives. Then, we will rejoice when many people we know and when people we prayed for are part of the roaring crowd before Your throne. Amen.
Week 4: The Power of God
Creation is a profound demonstration of God’s omnipotent power and His ability to create something new out of nothing. The intrinsic nature of creation not only demonstrates the infinite wisdom of the omniscient God, but also demonstrates the authoritative power of His Word, with which the entirety of creation was made. We read throughout the Scriptures about the manifestation of God’s power time after time as He moves to fulfill His plan and purpose for His chosen ones. He is naturally supernatural. His Word reveals that He is above and beyond seasons, circumstances, human realities, and the forces of darkness. His power has no comparison.
