Today’s readings

• Old Testament: OBADIAH 1:1-21
• New Testament: REVELATION 4:1-11
• Psalm: PSALM 132:1-18
• Proverb: PROVERBS 29:24-25

Old Testament

Obadiah condemns Edom’s pride and violence against Judah. Nations rise and fall, but the kingdom ultimately belongs to the Lord.

New Testament

John is taken into heaven and sees the throne. Everything centers on God’s holiness, worthiness, and creative authority.

Psalm

God’s covenant with David and His choice of Zion point toward a lasting King and dwelling place. Proverb Summary Fear of people is a trap; trusting the Lord brings safety. Discover Jesus Jesus is the promised Son of David, and Revelation teaches us to interpret earthly chaos from the throne room - not the other way around. Reflect Whose approval am I more afraid to lose than God’s? Fellowship Read Revelation 4 aloud and name what changes when God’s throne becomes the center of our perspective.

Prayer

Holy God, free me from pride and the fear of people. Center my life on Your throne. Amen.

Live

Before worrying about earthly power, remember who sits on the throne.
