📅 February 27 – Eternal Worship: Living in the Light of the Lamb

Monthly Theme: The Great Controversy – The Conflict Between Good and Evil
Year Theme 2026: “Soon the King Is Coming – Hope Beyond the End”

📖 Central Bible Text for the Day

“And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it,
for the glory of God gives it light,
and its lamp is the Lamb.”
— Revelation 21:23

🌅 Devotion of the Day

At the end of the great controversy there is not only peace —
but worship.

Not forced,
not out of fear,
but from deep, redeemed love.

In the new earth, Christ Himself is the light.
No more night,
no more shadow,
no hidden fear.

The Lamb who was slain
is the center of eternity.

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and blessing!”
— Revelation 5:12

Ellen G. White wrote:

“The song of the Lamb will resound through all eternity.
The redeemed will never forget
that they were saved through His sacrifice.”
(The Great Controversy, p. 651)

✨ Worship as a Way of Life

Eternal worship does not mean singing only —
it means living in harmony with God’s character.

Worship will be the breath of the redeemed.
Every encounter,
every discovery,
every joy will be praise.

“They shall serve Him and see His face.”
— Revelation 22:3–4

God’s presence is no longer hidden.
His name is on their foreheads —
a sign of belonging and love.

Ellen G. White wrote:

“In eternity, service for God will be joy.
No compulsion, no weariness,
but free, joyful devotion.”
(Education, p. 306)

🌿 The Light That Never Fades

“And there shall be no more night.”
— Revelation 22:5

In Scripture, night often stands for fear,
uncertainty, or temptation.
But in the new creation there is no more darkness —
neither outward nor inward.

Christ is the eternal light.
His presence removes every memory of darkness.

Ellen G. White wrote:

“The light of God’s presence will fill everything.
No shadow of sin will ever fall again.”
(Maranatha, p. 368)

🕊️ From Eternity to Eternity

Eternity will not be stagnation.
It will be an ongoing discovery of the depth of God’s love.

“His servants shall serve Him …
and they shall reign forever and ever.”
— Revelation 22:3–5

Ever new understanding,
ever new joy,
ever new gratitude.

The redeemed will grow,
learn, explore —
all in the light of the Lamb.

Ellen G. White wrote:

“From eternity to eternity the redeemed will discover
ever greater revelations of God’s love.
The song of redemption will never cease.”
(The Great Controversy, p. 678)

🌄 Worship Begins Today

Eternal worship does not begin only in heaven.
It begins here —
in a heart that loves Christ.

“God is Spirit,
and those who worship Him
must worship in spirit and truth.”
— John 4:24

Every decision for love,
every act of faithfulness,
every quiet prayer
is a foretaste of eternity.

🙏 Prayer

Dear Father in heaven,
thank You that the Lamb is the light of my life.

Teach me to worship You even today —
not only with words,
but with my whole life.

Fill my heart with Your light,
so that no shadow remains.

Prepare me for eternal fellowship,
where I may see You
and praise You forever.

Amen.
