HEAD
Chapter 11 ties into what we talked about yesterday. The whole theme in Revelation is God is in charge. Revelation 11:17 refers to God as “almighty”. The Greek word for almighty is pantokrater which means “the one who has his hand on everything”. After all the judgments God poured out, His ultimate plan is being revealed. In this chapter, the 7th trumpet from chapter 8 finally sounds! If you remember back in chapter 8 there was silence when the 7th seal was opened, but when the 7th trumpet sounded, things got loud! There were loud voices from heaven saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” There was so much joy because the almighty God, the one who has had his hand on everything in all of scripture, now reigns forever! Read verses 16-18 together. The elders fell on their faces and worshiped God. They praised Him for everything that was about to take place.
HEART
Doesn’t it bring you so much comfort that God has His hand on everything? We don’t have to worry about being in control. His plans are always perfect!
HANDS
Take time to worship as a family. This can be singing together, writing down attributes of God, or taking a walk together and talking about all the amazing things God has created. Praise God for being almighty!
