SCRIPTURE: Revelation (NIV) 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. 16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell on their faces, and worshipped God, 17 Saying, We give you thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which are, and were, and are to come; because you have taken to you your great power, and have reigned.
OBSERVATION: Here we see a coordination between the activities on earth and the activities in heaven. As I meditated on that thought, I realized that the whole Bible reveals this coordination. What happens in heaven affects what happens on earth. And what happens on earth affects what happens in heaven.
Throughout history, the activities of heaven and earth flow together toward a destiny with God’s prophetic word. Heaven and earth are welded together to fulfill the plan of God. Having just finished the Christmas season we heard of the angels appearing to the shepherds and the star that guided the magi to the Christ child.
APPLICATION: Obviously the amassing of sin on earth brings God’s judgment from heaven. But it is also obvious that the obedience and the prayers of God’s people are effective in changing and postponing coming judgment. I need to live and pray like needed changes depend on me.
PRAYER: Holy Spirit, I need you to guide me in praying. Pray through me. Keep me aware of how the Heavenly Father sees my circumstances. Help me to see things as He sees them. Amen
