One Year Bible – Day 364

S – They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. Night will be no more; people will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will give them light, and they will reign forever and ever. 

Revelation 22:4–5 CSB

O – Commentary:

They will have a privileged place before the throne for they will see His face. The implication is that they are under the Lord’s good favor and in His “inner circle.” This intimacy is also indicated by the fact that His name will be on their foreheads (cf. 2:17; 3:12; 7:3; 14:1). Their freedom to be in the presence of God indicates that they will then be in their glorified bodies (cf. 1 John 3:2).

“Revelation,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures

A – This is the intimacy with God that we desire.  We want to know Him and for Him to know us.  We will see him face to face.  The God who created everything, who knows no limits will be in relationship with us.  No more obstacles – us and God.  

R – Heavenly Father, we look forward to the day when we can stand with you face to face.  Our desire is to walk on earth in a way that honors you, demonstrates your love for others and makes us more like you.  We invite you to help us do that each day  in 2025.
