If you confess the Lord Jesus with your mouth,
and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved. Explain more »
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
The Lord will reward His servants. We should be holy people who fear the Lord and speak to others for Him.
Who can understand [his] errors? cleanse thou me from secret [faults].
Sometimes, we don't even know our own sins. This verse is in the context of the many great benefits of the Lord's Word. I think that this implies that it is by the Lord's Word that we can be delivered from sins that we even have trouble admitting to ourselves.
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
I'll meditate on the Word, throughout the day, at work.
And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
This is a warning against being people who still don't repent, even when encountering plagues. When we encounter trouble in our lives, let's make sure that we are not like those who yet repented not.
And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast [it] into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
The incense from the censor represented the prayers of holy people. We can see here that prayer is very powerful; let's take advantage of that power.
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Let's be willing to live godly in Christ Jesus, to really stand for Him and serve Him in our lives in this world; even though that will mean that, sooner or later, we must suffer some form of persecution.
And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.
Jesus sent people away, then He was alone to pray. What things should we send away, so that we can be undistracted when we pray?
In my times of prayer, I'll pray in such a way as to not be distracted.
