Beyond the Gospels: Revelation

Today's Scripture: Revelation 22:6-21
[It's the final reading of the New Testament. Maybe you should open your Bible today.]

And he said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. ..."
He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming soon."
Revelation 22:6, 20

If you're holding your Bible, feel its weight. Run your hand across the words on the page. What you're holding is trustworthy and true. It is to be handled with care. Not added to. Not detracted from. We need to tend to His Word by the power of the Holy Spirit, letting Him tend to our soul through Scripture.

His Word prepares us for His coming. And it is something we need to prepare for. 

"Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me,
to repay each one for what he has done. ...
Revelation 22:12

Grow Team hopes our journey through the Gospels and beyond has whetted your appetite for the Word. We pray you will keep seeking Him in it, with a heart prepared to obey. And as our Word says today: Worship God.

If you have completed the reading of the New Testament for the first time by following along since the 170 Challenge through the Gospels, we'd love to know. Use the Comment box below.

Even though we've finished the New Testament, you'll still be hearing from us.
Advent starts Sunday and so does the Advent Devotional.
