Remembering is not just a mental act—it's a spiritual one. God calls us to remember because He knows it keeps us anchored in Him. It keeps us close. Don't let life move so fast that you forget how far He's brought you. Look back, give thanks, and let your faith rise and strengthen again. Worship Him through your obedience and make Him the priority in your life. Remember the Lamb that was slain for your sin, Remember Jesus.Memorial Day, a day to remember those who gave the ultimate price to be able to keep the freedoms that we share in this country. Everyday are days to remember what God has done for us especially through His Son Jesus. 

In these verses, four angels are seen standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the winds to prevent any harm to the earth, sea, or trees. Another angel appears from the east, carrying the seal of the living God. He tells the four angels not to harm the earth or anything on it until the servants of God have been marked with a seal. This passage emphasizes God's control over judgment and His care for His people, the remnant.

Jesus, the true light, entered the world He created, but many did not recognize or accept Him. However, those who did believe in Him were given the right to become children of God, born spiritually by God's will. Do you believe Him, and do you receive Him?

In Revelation 6:1-2, the scene begins with the opening of the first of the seven seals by the Lamb, representing Jesus Christ. As the seal is opened, one of the four living creatures calls out, inviting the seer to come and witness what follows. A rider on a white horse appears, holding a bow and wearing a crown, symbolizing conquest and victory, but who does this figure represent?

Revelation 4:1-11 describes a vision of God's throne in heaven. John, the author, is invited to witness the scene, where he sees a majestic throne surrounded by twenty-four elders and four living creatures. The throne is radiant, with a brilliant appearance resembling precious stones. The elders, representing the redeemed, worship God, casting their crowns before Him and proclaiming His worthiness to receive glory, honor, and power. This passage emphasizes God's sovereignty, majesty, and the worship that He receives from all of creation. Do you stop and look at God's creation with awe and thank Him for His wonderful creation?

Revelation 2:7–3:22 contains letters from Jesus Christ to seven churches in Asia Minor, offering commendations, warnings, and promises. Each letter concludes with a call for the listener to "hear what the Spirit says to the churches." These letters outline a pattern: commendation for good deeds or faithfulness, rebuke for moral or doctrinal failure, and a promise to the faithful who overcome. Each message stresses the importance of staying true to Christ, avoiding false teachings, and persevering through difficulties. In what ways do these letters reflect our church today?
