Today: Revelation 13-16
I’m in Orlando, Florida tonight getting ready to go to Universal Studios in the morning. Universal Studios has a whole section dedicated to Marvel superheroes (I’ve already been told to go on the Incredible Hulk rollercoaster and by the time this is posted, I’ll have finished it!).
I didn’t really read comics as a kid and I haven’t seen all of the movies, but I know that superheroes are usually good at heart and strong.
Superheroes use their powers to fight for what’s right…perhaps unlike the things and people we meet in the “real world.” In life, we see lots of Mighty & Mediocre—people, groups or institutions that do not recognize the potential they have. The Mighty & Mediocre settle for average, not using the power that they’ve been given. On the other end of the spectrum, there are people and institutions who are Mighty & Mad (in the crazy, manic sense). They’re strong, but use their strength in the wrong way or for the wrong cause.
It’s a good thing that, like a superhero, God is Mighty & Marvelous. Take a look at a portion of today’s passage:
Mighty your acts and marvelous, O God,
the Sovereign Strong!
Righteous your ways and true,
King of the nations!
Who can fail to fear you, God,
give glory to your Name?
Because you and you only are holy,
all nations will come and worship you,
because they see your judgments are right.
Tomorrow: Revelation 17-19
