From Awe To Adoration

Revelation 1:10-18

17When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.

Bee's Thoughts:

"Then he placed His right hand on me" (v17)

This phrase brings very warm feeling into my heart and I just feel like crying. It's like a child missing her father, and when her father places his hand on her she clings onto him and hugs him tightly.

I missed my late father and my Heavenly Father too. I can't talk to my late father anymore till I see him again in heaven, but I can stil talk to my Heavenly Father now though I can't see Him. I should talk to Him, and tell Him all that are in my heart.

This Father of mine is the Almighty God in whom I can trust and share all my fears and joy. I missed Him because I have not spent enough time talking to Him... I only gave him my residual time every night. It shouldn't be if I love my Heavenly Father. I need to change.


Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for showing me Your glory again through tonight's devotion. Thank You for speaking to me right now and telling me I need to spend more quality time with You. Thank You that I can come to You boldly any time because of the blood of Jesus. Thank You that my life is in Your hand and You know every thought in my mind, every feeling in my heart and every word I like to say. Praise You Lord!

Right now I want to pray for my dearest friend who is away for working trip. I pray You will protect him from all harm. May You give him wisdom at work and be a shining light for You wherever he is. Give him your love and peace. Keep him healthy and protect him from all illnesses. Grant him a peaceful rest tonight and bring him safely home again tomorrow.
I pray all these in Jesus'most precious name. Amen.
