Title: Hallelujah! / Topic: The Curse

Today’s Reading: Revelation 19, 20, 21, 22


Scripture: Revelation 22:3 No longer will there be any curse.


Observation: This short phrase announces a truly wonderful blessing: The curse is lifted!


Application: Think of all the negatives on this planet since the dawn of time. They are all the result of the curse. Now think of life without the curse. The curse meant pain, hard labor, a creation resistant to fruitfulness, and a break in the relationship between male and female, and death. (See Gen. 3:14-19)


The thought of a world free of the bondage of sin and the constraints of the curse is a dream that I can't wait to experience!


Prayer: Thank you Lord for the coming age in which you reign supreme and sin and the curse are banished from the earth. This last day of 2011 concludes a year that moves us one step closer to your return and this great fulfillment. Hallelujah!

This I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
