Today I bring you encouragement from Revelation 7:9-17
9 After these things I looked, and here was an enormous crowd that no one could count,
made up of persons from every nation, tribe, people, and language,
standing before the throne and before the Lamb dressed in long white robes,
and with palm branches in their hands.
10 They were shouting out in a loud voice,
“Salvation belongs to our God,
to the one seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
11 And all the angels stood there in a circle around the throne
and around the elders and the four living creatures,
and they threw themselves down with their faces to the ground before the throne and worshiped God,
12 saying,
“Amen! Praise and glory,
and wisdom and thanksgiving,
and honor and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!”
13 Then one of the elders asked me,
“These dressed in long white robes – who are they and where have they come from?”
14 So I said to him, “My lord, you know the answer.” Then he said to me,
“These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation.
They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb!
15 For this reason they are before the throne of God,
and they serve him day and night in his temple, and the one seated on the throne will shelter them.
16 They will never go hungry or be thirsty again, and the sun will not beat down on them, nor any burning heat,
17 because the Lamb in the middle of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to springs of living water,
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

It has been a while since I made a regular entry here. I was going to add my comments to this text but I think the Word says it all.
"Salvation belongs to our God,"
"They will never go hungry or be thirsty again,
and the sun will not beat down on them
, nor any burning heat,
because the Lamb in the middle of the throne will shepherd them
and lead them to springs of living water,
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
Oh praise Him.
Amen........

Keep on letting the Lord speak through you. I have shared many of your blogs with my friends from church. God just seems to speak through you right at the time one of us is needing the encouragement. Manchester, TN loves your blog, Keep it up.
Love you in Christ, Helena
