Seven Angels with Seven Plagues
1I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with the seven last plagues—last, because with them God's wrath is completed. 2And I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and his image and over the number of his name. They held harps given them by God 3and sang the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb: "Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the ages. 4Who will not fear you, O Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed."
5After this I looked and in heaven the temple, that is, the tabernacle of the Testimony, was opened. 6Out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues. They were dressed in clean, shining linen and wore golden sashes around their chests. 7Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever. 8And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.

Nuff said
4Who will not fear you, O Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.
We should live everyday remembering this.
Father God,we lift up timmcd this morning. We ask You to remove his worries and stresses and focus on You as he prepares to enter this new phase of life. A life where he will become one with someone who You choose for him. Like Adam, SF is his rib that will make him complete. Together as one, they will share a life that honors You and represents Your kingdom. Give them both a peace over the next and patience that can only come from You. Help them remember that all of this is for Your glory and that they will take time to actually enjoy the celebration You have arranged in Your divine plan. Watch over all my brothers this weekend and their families.
IN Christ,

I have to agree with your quote cas. Also, it makes me remember something from LB series, and things mentors have told me.
"All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed."
It doesn't necessarily mean that they will do it voluntarily. Instead, we will see nations, rulers, and people forced to understand God's true might throught the day of judgement, when those who chose not to believe will be judged, and the full might of God will be revealed. A little scary at least to me.
Father, I praise you for this incredible week of hard work and production that you have allowed. I am so thankful for the love that you have continually placed in my life. Help me continue to be a light for others and a teaching Father for my children. Thank you for letting AJB get excited about praying, and thank you for helping AAB and I grow closer together each day. Watch over ELB's health and let her cold go away fast. Continue to lift up and reinvigorate these men both at their place of employment and in Your word. In Jesus amazing name,
Amen
