Spiritual Sit-Ups

 

Scripture:

Revelation 15: 7

And one of the four Living Beings handed each of them a golden flask filled with the terrible wrath of the Living God who lives forever and forever.

 

Observation:

The wrath of God – contained in seven flasks – ready to be poured out over the earth.  The victorious ones look on as the 7 plaques commence.  The wrath of God vs succumbing to satan’s ways is the scale that is before us all.  Standing strong til the end.  Remaining firm, feet planted and rooted in the only one that is above all – even satan - is the only choice that needs to be decided on – BEFORE the great day – before the great and terrible day. 

 

The flasks of wrath will by-pass the strong and well grounded ones in Christ.  The plaques will be of no consequence – they have already been through God’s fire.

 

Application:

I need to be strong.  I need to exercise – build on what god is teaching me today – for tomorrow I will be tested.

 

If I do 5 sit-ups today, I need to do 6 tomorrow – and by next week I can do 10 or more!  But I need to do sit-ups every day in order to build up my muscles.  I have no excuse not to exercise.  I have no excuse not to build my spiritual muscles.  The great day – the great and terrible day is nigh and I need to be ready and avoid the 7 flasks of God’s wrath.

Prayer:

Lord,  I quietly stand at the foot of your throne.  And as you see me in all that I am, may you see a strong, steadfast believer, consistent in you.

 

Hold back the 7 flasks a little longer so I may be strengthened a little more and be a true overcomer.
