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.
