DAILY VERSES: ”And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.” —Revelation 5:1-4
BIBLE THOUGHT: This “7 sealed book,” represents the secret purposes of God about to be revealed. The designs and methods of Divine Providence, toward the church and the world, are stated, fixed, and made a matter of record. Hebrews 13:8 tells us that Jesus Christ is the same and He does not change. Judgment is coming. John, the man that God is showing these things to, wept because no man was found worthy to look into the book. Those who see most of God, are most desirous to see more; as a Believer there should be a hunger for the Word of God as we are advised in 1 Peter 2:2 “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” If John wept much because he could not look into the book of God’s decrees, what reason have many to shed floods of tears for their ignorance of the gospel of Christ! Or, a Believer because he has missed a day of fellowship through the neglect of reading of His Word!
DAILY THOUGHT: John’s desire to see what God had written brought tears to his eyes. When was the last time the precious Word of God brought tears to yours?
