SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS
Today's reading: Revelation 19-22

I asked for something simple and straight forward. I needed words that were clear and concise. In all reality, I wanted Him to fill my head and heart with a thought that was simple but powerful, easy to grasp but monumental in depth and power.

He came through.

He swept away the haze of an early morning. He removed from me the list of all that needs done in the next twenty-four hours. He left no doubt in my mind, no reason to theorize or debate, there was no needing to intepret the Scripture on this one. He simply wrote...

"...Worship God..." Revelation 20:15 NLT

There was nothing I needed to be reminded of more than that! During this wonderfully, holy season, I'd pushed aside the Baby. I'd crowded the Birthday Boy out of the manger scene and placed Santa smack dab in the middle of heart and mind. I'd allowed the hustle and bustle to wreak havoc on my Silent Night.

But God spoke through His Word again. And I chose to listen. I'm choosing to respond. I'm deciding to obey His simple instructions.
