Obadiah 1:1-21, Revelation 4:1-11, Psalm 132:1-18, Proverbs 29:24-25
Pray: Who sits on the throne of heaven? Remind yourself of the one who created it all and rules everything forever and ever. Let this truth drive your prayer time.
Read: Ask God to enlarge your perspective with your current challenges, circumstances, and plans as you take in the full counsel of God in today’s reading.
Edify: The Psalm echoes the unconditional promise of God to David that one of his ancestors will sit on the throne forever (Psalm 132:11). Obadiah is a mouthpiece of God who echoes this promise even in a time of ruin and exile. God will judge those who go against His plans and will restore Israel, because He will never go back on this promise. Do the promises of God rule in your heart and in your sight, or do your circumstances rule the day? The vision of the unchangeable one (in both His nature and position on the throne) is meant to change our perspective and purpose in our today. What does the Good News of Jesus look like in your family, work, church, and entire life today?
Practice: Write down your top cause of stress and anxiety. What fear are you projecting on the future? Now write down Revelation 4:8 or 4:11 in response. What does God’s redemptive plan look like in this particular situation?
