"They numbered myriads of myriads and
thousands of thousands, singing with full voice,
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and blessing!”
(from Revelation 5:11-14)
John hears and sees a heavenly chorus, summoning us to join him hearing and watching.
John’s invites us to demonstrate our loyalty to God, the Lamb, and the Holy Spirit in a life of worship.
By joining him we take part in a heavenly “worshipping
world”.
In this worshipping world God
alone is worthy to be given honor, praise, and worship.
Within this worshipping world, it’s impossible to count the
multitudes circling the throne revealing the scope God’s honor, glory, and might.
Imagine the whole company of heaven, the myriad and
thousands, praising Jesus!
These voices and this new song of jubilation come from the
certainty of God’s reign.
We all go through life’s ups and downs, hills and valleys and
are well aware of the pain.
As we go through the trials and tribulations, it’s easy to
lose sight of the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb.
During Sunday worship as we sing and praise God’s glory and
might, the ordeals we face are transformed into a reality where God is in
control.
The song of a worshipping congregation overturns the present
reality of pain and transforms that reality into a visionary reality — where
God is in control.
Sing with the heavenly chorus, sing!
We’re aware the travail isn’t over, but that God has the
final word.
Amen!
