Alpha/Omega: Revelation 11 Family Devotional
Apr 25, 2021
| By Marsella Evans
In the movie The Avengers, the moment of triumph finally comes at the end of the battle and the heroes receive the glory they deserve. Fear took over for a while, and there is some rubble lying around Iron Man and Captain America, but they fought the good fight and won in the end.
In real life, the world is going to get hard for a while, but the messengers of God will speak truth faithfully, and God will be glorified. There will be destruction, but the heroes will win out.
Even in uncertainty, we can be sure that God will always be faithful to fulfill His promises.
- God will protect His people.
- The forces of good will win.
- God’s glory and kingdom will come down to Earth.
