His ways are great and amazing

HIGHLIGHT

Revelation 15:3–4 (ESV): 3 And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and amazing are your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations! 4 Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.”

EXPLAIN

The previous chapter closes with messages from three angels, one of which promises God’s wrath on those who worship the beast. Thus, the saints are called to endure. After this, the earth is harvested; God’s wrath is poured out and many die.

This chapter begins with seven angels with seven plagues. But before their plagues are revealed, we see a sea of glass mingled with fire, and all those who had conquered the beast and its image standing beside the sea, singing this glorious song.

APPLY

We often don’t understand God’s ways, especially when God allows us to go through hardship and difficulty. But when we gain a greater perspective, we must exclaimed how great and amazing God is, for he is just and true.

RESPOND

Heavenly Father, I praise you for your greatness and goodness. You are just and true. You are rightful King of the universe, and I thank you for the privilege of calling you my king. I glorify your name, Amen.
