December 15

Today's Reading

Micah. I have never really noticed the following verse before: "And why is this happening?
Because of the rebellion of Israel—
yes, the sins of the whole nation.
Who is to blame for Israel’s rebellion?
Samaria, its capital city!
Where is the center of idolatry in Judah?
In Jerusalem, its capital!"
Much of what I read today speaks of our nation's capital as a city of duplicity and deceit. It seems that the gods most worshiped there are power and money. Oh, may God revive Washington, D.C.!

Today's passage includes the beautiful picture of Christ on the throne and people from all the nations going up to be taught by Him. Amen!

Revelation. As Jesus breaks each of the seals, something is released. First come the four horsemen, each bring increasing judgment upon the earth. Then comes the promise to the martyred, including the fact that more are yet to be martyred. Finally, stars are falling from the sky. It sounds like meteorites bringing great destruction.

Psalms. Praying through the night. It's a great experience. Thank God that He calls people to pray at all hours!

Proverbs. This is an interesting reference to God the Father and Jesus the Son. It seems as if it quotes the cry of a seeker who doesn't understand the way of God, but wants to.

What do you see today?
