Today we're studying Revelation 7:17 in just one minute! Grab your scriptures and let's dive into them together!
We chose to follow Jesus Christ long before this world was created. The true test is to see if we will continue to choose Him now.
When we truly feast upon the words of Christ, the uncertainties and trying times of this life will be easier to handle.
I still can remember my heart almost stopping as a teenager when my glass of bright red juice spilled all over our white carpet. I knew I was going to be in big trouble. But what happened next surprised me, and taught me a powerful lesson about Revelation 7:14.
We all have had those moments in our lives when we have needed someone to listen to an experience we have had, hear it, and simply validate the way we are feeling. When someone does it properly, it allows us to calm down, draw closer to the person validating, as well as draw closer to ourselves. The problem is that finding someone who can do that for us is often difficult. Many times other’s don’t know how to validate or they are in a mode of trying to “fix” our problems instead of just hearing them. Meg Tilton is on the podcast today teaching you the importance of self-validation and how when you can learn to do this you will not need to seek validation from anyone else. Meg is a firm believer that when you can learn to validate yourself, you have more love for yourself and others in your life. You drop expectations of others and know that you can take care of yourself.
The message of the book of Revelation - particularly found in the seven seals, is that God will win! Period. End of story! And those who are on His side and stay true to Him will win too.
We’ve spent the last several months on Top of Mind assessing the assumptions that drive our decisions. And we hope you’ve had a few “Stick With It Moments” as you’ve heard a perspective that challenged you, but you chose to stay open and curious – and keep listening! And hopefully that’s been good practice for “sticking with it” when you encounter challenging perspectives in your daily life. Because leaning into that discomfort leads to new empathy, more clarity on complicated issues, and a better ability to advocate for the things you really care about. While we’re producing the podcast, we have Stick With It moments, too. So in this podcast episode to wrap up Season 4, our host Julie Rose talks with the Top of Mind team about moments that challenged them in recent episodes about adoption, end-of-life decisions, immigration, police reform and political disagreement.
