Bible Reading: Rev. 4: 1 - 11
Topic: Glorious Worship
Today's text records
John's vision of an open door and a voice calling him to come through so he
could be shown what would take place in the future.
Through the door he saw
God's glorious Throne and other thrones surrounding it, occupied by twenty-four
Elders splendidly dressed in white and wearing golden crowns.
The truly awesome and
glorious vision of lightning, thunderings and voices e.t.c. from the Throne,
not surprisingly caused the living creatures to respond with worship.
Worship is the only
appropriate response to this Awesome, Holy, Almighty and Eternal God.
God desires our worship
but like the Elders, we must worship in Spirit and in Truth.
And just as their worship
was motivated by love, ours too must come from grateful hearts full of love for
the One Who gave His Life in order to ensure that we live with God forever and
enjoy the same worship experience that we read about today.
Worship is far more than
singing and raising our hands in Church.
It is a lifestyle of
obedience and loving service to God.
We were created to bring
Him glory when we live for Him, everything we do becomes with our lives an act
of worship.
Prayer
Dear Lord, let my whole
life be a living worship unto You, Amen.
Memory Verse Rev. 4: 11
"Thou art worthy, O
Lord to receive glory, and honour, and power; for Thou hast created all things,
and for Thy pleasure, they are and were created"
