Notice on a slight format change:

Except for July 2012, these are mostly a collection of current devotional notes.

July 2012 is a re-write of old quiet times. My second child was born Nov 11, 1987 with multiple birth defects. I've been re-reading my QT notes from that time in my life, and have included them here. They cover the time before the birth and the few years immediately after the birth. They are tagged "historical." I added new insights and labeled them: ((TODAY, dd mmm yy)).

Rev 4:1-6a
Revelation 4:3 (ESV) — 3 And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald.
The throne room of God is an amazing place. It is hard for the viewer to describe, but clearly the beauty and majesty of it is almost over whelming.
Jasper is like a diamond reflecting other colors. It probably represents God's holiness. The carnelian is deep red and probably represents the blood of Christ.
We do not take God's presence seriously enough. To enter into the presence of God is a deeply serious matter. Yet, Jesus gives us the freedom to enter this awesome place to receive grace and mercy in our times of need.
Father, thank you for access to you. I can't imagine the incredible glory and majesty. I can only come humbly, covered in the blood of Christ, for otherwise I have no business being anywhere near the throne.
