My Lectio Divina: Revelation 15:3-4

Great and amazing are your deeds,

O Lord God the Almighty!

Just and true are your ways,

O King of the nations!

Who will not fear, O Lord,

and glorify your name?

For you alone are holy.

All nations will come

and worship you,

for your righteous acts have been revealed.

{God created all things. God did not want us to be stuck in sin. God came himself to earth in a human body to live the perfect life to ransom those who want real life. God has done Amazing Deeds!!

You are Just. You are True. You justify those who want your way which is perfect. You are True and do not lie. This world is under a false reality due to the deceitfulness of sin. It makes humanity think wrongly about real life. You came to tell us truth and offer justification for those who will accept it. 

Who would not Fear You for this amazing gift you want to bestow on us. We deserve death hell and eternal damnation because we constantly want the wrong things. And yet you yourself came to do what we cannot do so that we could be with you forever. GLORY to You Holy Amazing God. Because you are holy we have to be made holy to be with you. You are even offering it freely! GLORY to God!!

We Worship you for this amazing gift you want to give. Please Lord God Almighty I would like to receive this Amazing Gift!! You are complete righteousness. You want to gift us with that too! 

Thank you God for not letting us be damned for eternity. Help me respond to your offer. Help me become what you made me for. Help me accept this amazing gift you yourself paid for so I could be with you forever!! Amen!! GLORY TO YOU GOD ALMIGHTY!!}

My Lectio Divina: Revelation 16:7

Yes, Lord God the Almighty,

true and just are your judgments!

{You know and see all things. Especially and including all my thoughts words and deeds. You are True and will punish if we do not come to you to get clean. And your judgements are absolutely just! We all have broken your law. You would be just to send us all to hell for eternity. And yet you came to save! All we have to do is want it and accept it! Anyone who does not accept deserves damnation. After all you paid for it all!! We did nothing! Praise and Glory to you Almighty God!

Thank you for this amazing offer. I need help to see I need this gift. I need grace to accept and follow your ways. My mind is dark and it wants and thinks wrong. Save me from my sin!! Amen.}

My Lectio Divina: Revelation 16:11

They did not repent of their deeds.

{Only those who REPENT of their wrong thinking and wrong behavior can be saved. I must admit where I do not agree with the Word and ask for the strength to turn around and get in line with your ways and thoughts. What you say sin is, is what sin is. Man has corrupted himself and cannot see truth without your light. I must be willing to come to the light and agree and then be willing to let you change me. I cannot change myself. 

Holy Almighty God, help me see where I am following wrong thinking so I can let you fix my wrong behavior. I must follow your ways not want my own ways. Please God, change my heart and renew my spirit with your Holy Spirit! Amen!}

My Lectio Divina: Revelation 16:15

I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!

{I must be vigilant. You could come for my soul at any moment. Not only that but you could come back for judgement at any moment. You are coming like a thief (no one knows when a thief will break in to harm). I must stay awake in your presence at all times. Keep the garments of righteousness on. The garments are Christ. I must live in with and through Christ. My life is hidden in Him. If I am in him I will not sin. If I am in sin, I have removed myself from Christ. If He comes when I am naked and not in Christ I could be lost!

Almighty Amazing God, help me stay vigilant. Help me stay awake. Help me stay in you. Help me follow your ways not mine. Save me from myself!! Amen!}
