Wed.’s Devo - The Last Words

Read: Malachi 3:1-4:6; Rev. 22:1-21; Ps. 150: 1-6; Pr. 31:25-31 When Jesus comes back he is coming to purify the earth. He will cleanse the motives of the hearts of his people. God implores them to turn now so they can be spared judgment. God will judge people according to their tithes and offerings. The tithe stands for their things required in the law and the offerings reflect the things people give above the law. When we do the things required in the law according to giving God will keep the devil from taking things from us. Our cars will last longer, our washing machines run smoothly past their warranty, etc. In other words the devil won’t be able to steal from us. Before Jesus comes back he will send the spirit of Elijah to the land which will turn the hearts of the people toward their families. The conclusion of Revelation shows us what it will look like when death is no more. We will have access to the water of life which is the Holy Spirit. From the Holy Spirit there will come forth the tree of life and fruit to nourish us every month. There will be no darkness or night. He gives us one more warning to do God’s commandments so that we can live in God’s city and have free access to his river of life. Lord, may strength and honor be our clothing and may we rejoice in time to come.
