Journal for June 11th…Redemption

8:01 AM

Revelation 8-11

Lord God, just so You know, I regret my sinfulness and turn to Jesus for salvation. He is the Lamb of God that was slain for my sins. What could have been catastrophic for me turned out to be forgiven, cleansed, and redeemed.

What amazes me, Lord, is that after all the world suffers and after all the clear evidence that judgment is upon them, many will not repent and turn to You. 9:20 "The rest of the people that were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands to stop worshiping demons and idols…that are not able to see, hear, or walk"…or save!!

Thank You, Lord, for the "seal" You will have on Your people in the days of tribulation -- the seal You have on believers now is the Holy Spirit Himself!

Millions killed by war, pestilence, and natural disaster, and yet most people go on living without You; rejecting You; fixed in their darkness and lostness. Even now humans produce survival movies that portray people as heroes, not sinners, and the earth as "home". And they falsely project a "survival of the fittest" mentality, as if life can just naturally continue toward a happier day after cataclysmic floods, earthquakes, and war.

Thank You, Lord, for Your salvation…for opening my eyes… for letting me believe and receive Your great redemption. May Jesus Christ be glorified. May I be second.
