Today's passage from the Bible In a Year Reading Plan is: Zechariah 1-4; Revelation 18
Our reading today from Revelation reminded me of parts of our current society here in North America.
Revelation 18:3
For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries .”
Many have fallen for earthly rewards and wanted them before anything God offers, they've put them as higher priority then what God wants of us.
Revelation 18:4-5
Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “ ‘Come out of her, my people ,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.
Here we are encouraged to separate ourselves from earthly rewards, again putting God first. Do I want earthly fame and fortune ahead of what God wants from me?
