Today’s Scripture: Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said, “No don’t worship me. For I am a servant of God, just like you and other brothers and sisters who testify of their faith in Jesus. Worship God. For the essence of prophesy is to give a clear witness for Jesus. Revelation 19:10 (emphasis mine)
The angel said these words to John as he was given the vision of the songs of victory in heaven. At hearing all of the Amen! Hallelujahs! In praise to our God, John was overwhelmed and fell down to worship the angel. The angel quickly made sure that John knew not to worship him as he was a servant just as him.
How does that hit you today? Do you feel like a servant equal to an angel? Do you somehow rank the importance of your service to God? We are each servant’s right here, right now. The Spirit had already impressed upon me this morning in Revelation 15:2. There were all the people singing and holding harps that “God had given them.”
God has given each of us the instruments and the testimonies to serve Him. We can serve like His angels. We just have to testify of our faith, tell our stories of how God and His Lamb have loved us and saved us. We do this not out of guilt or fear of our name not being in the Book of Life but out of singing praises to our Almighty God.
May we play what He has given us and testify to others and say “come”. Come with us and see how the water of life can quench your thirsts. Can you testify how God has quenched your thirsts? Share it and serve; just like an angel.
Today’s Prayer: Lord God Almighty You reign, Amen! Hallelujah! I am glad and rejoice and honor You. Thank You for Your Holy Scriptures and for the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Thank You for giving us the springs of water without charge. I come to You to live in Your light. Help me to play the instruments You have given me to invite other thirsty souls to come and drink of Your water. Amen! Come, Lord Jesus.
