September 12: Daniel 3-4; Psalm 81; Revelation 17

Scripture: Revelation 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

Observation: Jesus was introduced to the world by John the Baptist as the Lamb. The context of this verse shows a ten nation confederacy submitting their power to Satan’s kingdom to make war against the Lamb. The outcome of this war is not in doubt.

With the Lamb are those who have been called, then they have been chosen, and finally they have proven faithful.

Application: I cannot do the calling. God calls me as the Holy Spirit convicts me of sin and draws me to His forgiveness. I cannot do the choosing. God chooses to place His Spirit within me. But I can be faithful. I can be faithful to listen and to obey.

Prayer: Lord, you have loved me and proved again and again your love for me. How can I not be faithful to you! Amen.
