A Great Multitude - All Our Daily Bread Daily Devotionals for 2026

Bible in a Year: Daniel 11-12, Jude

Before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language.
Revelation 7:9

Today's Scripture & Insight:

We came together for our Sunday morning church service with joy and anticipation. Although we were spatially distanced because of the coronavirus pandemic, we welcomed the opportunity to celebrate Gavin and Tijana's wedding. Our technologically gifted Iranian friends broadcast the service to friends and family spread out geographically—including in Spain, Poland, and Serbia. This creative approach helped us overcome the constraints as we rejoiced in the covenant of marriage. God's Spirit united us and gave us joy.

That Sunday morning with our wonderfully multinational congregation was a small taste of the glory to come when people from "every nation, tribe, people and language" will stand before God in heaven (Revelation 7:9). The beloved disciple John glimpsed this "great multitude" in a vision he recounts in the book of Revelation. There those gathered will worship God together along with the angels and elders: "Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever" (v. 12).

The union and marriage of Jesus and His international bride in the "wedding supper of the Lamb" (19:9) will be an amazing time of worship and celebration. Our experience at our Sunday church service with people from many nations points to this celebration that one day we'll enjoy.

While we wait in hope for that joyful event, we can embrace the practice of feasting and rejoicing among God's people.
