#soap # Revelation 13 ## Title: Patiently Trusting ## Scripture: (Revelation 13:10) “If anyone is meant for captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed by the sword, then by the sword he must be killed.This requires steadfast endurance and faith from the saints.” (NET) ## Observation: The main message to the Church is to endure and trust the Lord. It’s odd because you would think it would be for the Church to stand and take ground. However, Jesus is doing that throughout the Book. Revelation says over and over that God is doing more than we realize. The Church’s job is to be faithful, trusting, and patient. This doesn’t mean they should stop sharing the hope of Jesus. It means they should not become weary in sharing this hope. They do not have to figure out the cosmic future of all things. They trust that God has got all that. Their job is to keep trusting and let Jesus do what only He can do. ## Application: Are you trusting God to take care of the big things while you go about the daily business of the Kingdom in your life? ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for inviting us into the journey.
