Thine the Amen, Thine the Praise
Monday, October 29
“Thine the amen Thine the praise Alleluias angels raise”
Read Revelation 19:1-10. John experiences an amazing thundering shout of Hallelujah from those in heaven. Why are they praising God? Do we praise God for the same reason?

“Thine the breaking of the bread – Thine the harvest then the cup”
Read Luke 22. Jesus celebrates the Passover with his disciples. The bread is broken and the cup is drunk. “This is my body…this cup is… the new covenant in my blood.” We drink forgiveness. What did Jesus drink? See Luke 22:42
Wednesday, October 31
“Gone the pleading gone the cry Gone the sighing gone the dying”
Read Revelation 7. This chapter gives a parallel vision of the church on earth and the church in heaven. What do you look forward to in heaven? What things are you glad will be “gone?”

“Then the end of all the war”
Read Micah 4. Micah prophesies a time when peace will reign over Zion. Has that day come for us? Did Jesus accomplish that peace for us? Are we still waiting for perfect peace? Is it both? Now and not yet?
Friday, November 2
“Thine the banquet… Then the welcome to the least”
Read Luke 14. Jesus sits around a table and gives many examples here about what it means to be his disciple. It is amazing to think that we in our sinfulness could be invited. Yet by Jesus blood, we are. What kind of dinner guests are we to be, then?
Saturday, November 3
“Thine the river Thine the tree Then the Lamb eternally”
Read Revelation 22. The song ends with the same vision John saw of the new earth. In verse 20 John says, “Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!” How important is it for us to keep John’s words on our lips and in our hearts?
