Today's reading
Revelation 1:1-8
Reflection
The prophecy concerning 'The 7 Churches of Asia' unveils the mysteries of the end of the ages and the final victory of the Lamb. Understanding the visions of Revelation calls for eyes fixed on the throne of God, where divine sovereignty stands above every power on earth. These prophecies were not written to fill us with dread, but to steady our hope. They show that all earthly pain and oppression are passing, and that a New Jerusalem awaits us in eternity.
Applying it today
When fear or anxiety about the future of the world creeps in, remember that God is on the throne, governing human history.
Prayer
King of Kings and Lord of Lords, strengthen my faith in the middle of the world's troubles. May the hope of your glorious coming guide and comfort my days. Amen.
