Who Was and Is and Is To Come
Filed Under Daily Devotions
SCRIPTURE: Ezekiel 8-11; Revelation 4
“‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and is, and is to come.” ~ Revelation 4:8
OBSERVATION:
There is a song that I love called “Revelation Song” and I never understood why it was called that. Well, the first line in the chorus is this verse and many of the lyrics are from the 4th chapter of Revelation. Every time I hear the last bit of this verse, I can’t help but to pause and let the words sink in: “Who was and is and is to come.” This perfectly describes our God in every moment. He was, He is and He is to come. He was here as Jesus Christ, He is here as the Holy Spirit and He will return. He is holy and He is our Lord, God Almighty.
APPLICATION:
I don’t praise God enough just for who He is. I thank Him when He gives me blessings, but I don’t praise Him just to praise Him.
PRAYER:
Abba, you are the Lord God Almighty. You are holy and perfect and the Lord of my life. You were, You are, You will always be my God.
