September 2: Ezekiel 17-19; Revelation 7

Scripture: Revelation 7:9 After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no-one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.
10 And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne and to the Lamb.”
11 All the angels were standing round the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshipped God,
12 saying: “Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!”

Observation: It appears that every being in heaven is involved in this time of worship. It starts with those who have personally experienced this great salvation proclaiming that God is the author and provider. The angels and elders and four living creatures, all who have not personally experienced the forgiveness of sins, respond to the proclamation of the redeemed with their own statement.

Application: I want to be a part of that great gathering!!! And in preparation, I want to be a part of small gatherings of God’s people as they prepare their worship for that great assembly. And I do not want to show up alone; I want to take others with me.

Prayer: Lord, What a day that will be! Amen.
