  Every day I do devotionals...two in the morning, and one at night. For the last couple of years, because of the brain fog from fibro,  I assume,  I have a hard time concentrating very long. Reading is difficult because at some point I will not be able to completely comprehend what I just read, and have to go back to read it again, or I fall asleep. So the devotionals help me to stay in God's Word, even if it's just a little bit. In my reading today a passage popped up that I don't ever recall reading, but having read the Bible through at least a couple of times, I know I have. It was Malachi 3: 1-6a. M ALACHI 3 The Coming Messenger 1 “Behold,  Matt. 11:10; Mark 1:2; Luke 1:76; 7:27; John 1:23; 2:14, 15 I send My messenger, And he will  (Is. 40:3) prepare the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, Will suddenly come to His temple, Is. 63:9 Even the Messenger of the covenant, In whom you delight. Behold,  Hab. 2:7 He is coming,” Says the  Lord ...

I was reading my morning devotional today, and a book of Revelation just jumped out at me, indeed, wouldn't leave my head. It was Revelation 6. When I taught high school Sunday school, which feels like eons ago, we did a study of the entire book of Revelation. I will tell you, that even though I did all of the prep work and study to prepare for this class, I learned more in that series of classes about that book, God, Jesus, my students, this world and myself than anything before that. Since then, I've been through many Sunday School classes and studies about the book of Revelation, and each one has taught me something new that I may have missed or was revealed to me. Today, I was reading chapters five and six. Breezed through chapter five, but came to a screeching halt on the next chapter. Why? I'll show you.                                             ...
