Prayer for Revelation of God's Glory

Revelation 15:1 - 4
I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with the seven last plagues—last, because with them God’s wrath is completed. And I saw what looked like a sea of glass glowing with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and its image and over the number of its name. They held harps given them by God and sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb:

“Great and marvelous are your deeds,
    Lord God Almighty.
Just and true are your ways,
    King of the nations.
4 Who will not fear you, Lord,
    and bring glory to your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
    and worship before you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed.”

Book Reflection: What on Earth am I Here For by Rick Waren

Kayla and I are first year evening Core students at Highlands College.  Over the next eight weeks we are reading What on Earth am I here For? by Rick Warren.   Of course the entire book has life fulfilling content so I am going to list the key points that have made significant impact on my life and are spiritual laws that I choose to retain as codes for my life:

Blessed are those who trust in the Lord...They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water.  Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought.  Their leaves stay green, and they go right on producing delicious fruit.  Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NLT)  page 21 

...focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life's purpose page 24 

God is not just the starting point of your life; he is the source of it page 27 

You were created as a special object of God's love!  God made you so he could love you.  This is a truth to build your life on page page 33

People who don't know their purpose try to do too much - and that causes stress, fatigue, and conflict page 42 

Life is a test, life is a trust, life is a temporary assignment.  These ideas are the foundation of a purpose drive life. page 56

This is another misconception about worship.  It isn't for our benefit!  We worship for God's benefit.  When we worship, our goal is to bring pleasure to God, not ourselves.   If you ever have said, "I didn't get anything our of worship today, " you worshiped for the wrong reason.  Worship isn't for you.  It's for God.   page 85 

I will continue to update this post through spring 2018 when the course is completed
