In review

In preparation for Share Night at BSF tonight, I've gone through my notes from the past few months of studying Revelation and posted them below. These are in answer to the weekly question "What have you learned about God in this week's study?"

• He wants us with him. He is rolling out his plan, no matter how crazy the world looks. Nothing is a surprise to him.
• The Big Story, who God is, and He is coming again and He cares for each of us, and we are on the winning side, no matter how hard this life is. 
• He is worthy to be obeyed, lived for. Prayer against distraction, fear, and for faithfulness. He is Faithful and True. 
• He knows us and never leaves us alone. Be prepared - by staying in the Word, staying close to Him; that we would have zero tolerance for evil. 
• Remaining faithful when year after year goes by and I'm not where I want to be. 
• He is huge and powerful; worthy of my worship. I am so small, but loved, even when my attitude stinks like a three year old throwing a tantrum. 
• How would I live if I knew Christ was coming back on Friday? Trust and faith in Him, and taking his word seriously. 
• He knows and loves me and is with me; He is in charge. Tells me not to fear - may my faith increase! 
• The seriousness of sin; the need to live daily for Him. 
• We are at war, lives in the balance. He is with us and provides abundantly, if we are willing to step out and be counted. 
• The is a Light side and a dark side - this must be taken seriously. He is working even when it seems He is not. 
• He WILL have his way - He is utterly victorious - He asks that I stay awake, focused, engaged, obedient, and ready. Jesus has drunk the cup of God's wrath for us. 
• That I would remain humble about my own sin - when faced by the sins of another; I am a sinner saved by God's great grace. 
• We win in the end. We will have to declare allegiance to someone - let us chose the one who love us and wins. He has shown us how to live - love mercy, act justly, walk humbly. 
• His complete victory and total allegiance. 
• His plan will roll out, swiftly, and I want to be waiting and ready. 
• His power, perfect timing, perfect mercy and judgment. May I remain always faithful and true to my Saviour. 
• That the truth of Revelation would stick. 
• He is coming soon, how I live my life now matters for eternity.
