Heavenly Praise and Worship


The greatest light and sound show ever to be experienced by us awaits, surrounding the throne of heaven. Praise and worship in the highest with all the chorus of the heavenly host. Unimaginable. But try if you will, to imprint this scene on your mind, and when this life is at it's worst, remember what lies ahead.



August's Message, Day 9:

Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!” Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!” The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped. Revelation 5:11-14 NIV



So this is praise and worship, heavenly style! Myriads of innumerable angels, the four living creatures - themselves quite a sight, and the twenty-four elders with all of creation itself, extolling Him who sits on the throne. This is the heart of heaven, what all creation was created for - for His good pleasure. Can you possibly even contemplate this scene? Can you even image what this would be like to see and hear and experience in person? He says, "Yes, I am coming soon." Come quickly, Lord Jesus! Imprint this scene on your mind, and the next time when you're in your darkest moment and deepest despair, remember what lies ahead. The pain and the past will all be forgotten and we'll be in the presence of God and all the heavenly host singing His praises. Beyond compare, nothing we could ever experience on this earth will even come close.
