December 28, 2016: SOAP #2582:  Revelation 5-9

Scripture:  Revelation 7:17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” Revelation 21:4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

Observation:   Obviously, there will be tears in heaven.   They may be tears of sorrow because ones we loved on earth are missing in heaven.  They may be tears of shame because once we see how much God loved us and did for us, we see how little we did for Him.  Yet the tears will not last.  The Great Comforter will be the One who wipes them away!

Application:  What a great Savior and Comforter I have!  Motivated by great love for Him, I want to bring Him much joy while here on earth.

Prayer:   Holy Spirit, talk to me all day long, showing me ways I can bring joy to my Heavenly Father.    Amen
