Today my vibrant heart did not receive that vital joy that the Word gives.
I wonder what really permeated from my encounter with God in the Word today?
My heart was a little sore instead of beating with joy like always.
I was so ready to start reading the amazing Book of Revelation. And I went into the narrative with great expectations. And my expectation turned into a probing question!
Chapter one, verse 20 explains the mystery and at the same time disturbs my soul with the searching question: Would I be in that category? Am I one of those angels?
“This is the meaning of the mystery of the seven stars you saw in my right hand and the seven gold lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.” (Revelation 1:20 NLT).
The Lord lovingly responded to me with an amazing testimony. When I was struggling with my probing question, an emergency arose. A mother found out that her son was using drugs, she confronted him and he violently assaulted her.
The Holy Spirit gave me the powerful tool to minister to her and her devastation and hopelessness dissipated. She said that she entered into a peace that she had not experienced for a long time. And that is the confirmation : Yes, I am in that category in the mystery!
Praise God ! My deeper search today, is satisfied. So can yours. Just a little talk with Jesus will do it. Try it!
This is my Story! What’s Yours?
