I don't know whether you do read the last book of the Bible that is Revelation. For me, I haven touched that book in a long long while, partly because I have failed in my many attempts at finishing the Bible in a year. That'll have to wait a little longer... but in the mean time, I did manage to read the last chapter of Revelation. My quiet time took me to that passage as a reflection, in particular Revelation 22:1-5.
Yet, I couldn't help reading till the end (I was this close to reading the end of the Bible!). And so, I came to verse 8 and 9: 'I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. But he said to me, "Do not do that. I am a fellow servant of yours and of your brethren the prophets and of those who heed the words of this book. WORSHIP GOD."' I was reminded that so often, we read the Bible, especially the most interesting parts like the battles, parables, stories of Jesus' miracles and prophecies of Him that we forget what we ought to do after reading all that. Worship God. It was just a two-word sentence but it struck me that I haven been doing that very often. Now's the time to practice what I read.
