Devotional Message:
(Revelation 14:7)
"He said in a loud voice, 'Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.'”

Observation:
Revelation 14:7 reminds us of the greatness and sovereignty of God.
