Daily Devotional – From God’s Throne Room
By Living Better on May 14, 2020
Our scripture for the Daily Devotional today is taken from Revelation 3: 17-22. Can you imagine being in the throne room of God? One day we will get there. What will be the greatest thing or question that you will have answered on that day?
“You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

Jesus spoke often about the kingdom of God. He was questioned by His disciples and followers about when the kingdom of God would come. Oppressed and worn out, the Jewish people were longing for relief and new leadership.

It may not have been the kingdom that everyone was hoping for, but it was the establishment of God’s throne room for all of us to come into.
Let’s Pray
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you, God, for making the way available for Your kingdom to be experienced on this earth as it is in heaven. Help me by Your Spirit to see you and be found in Your throne room today, and every other day of my life.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
