December 28, 2019: SOAP #3677:  Revelation 5-9

Scripture:  Revelation (NIV) 5:11 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. 12 In a loud voice they sang: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!” 13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!” 14 The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.

Observation:  Two days ago, from Psalm 119:89, the Lord had me consider that His word is Eternal and Universal.  God’s word is truth which has no beginning and no end.  It is trustworthy in all areas of the universe, all areas of God’s creation.

Today in Revelation 5 we read of Universal acclaim of the Lamb’s worth.  Worship comes from all areas of the universe!   It is also eternal for it lasts “for ever and ever.”

Application:  Since I am a part of God’s creation, it is totally proper for worship to come from my heart and life.  And the worship that starts in my life in this life will continue into eternity.   What starts in this life will continue around God’s throne in heaven.  It will go on and on!

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, there is not a day I live in which you are not worthy of my praise.  There is not a breath I take that should not be returned in praise to you.  May the air in each breath enter my body to find and become a part of praise and worship to You.  Then may the air I breath out carry with it my praise and worship to fill my environment with appreciation for you. You are worthy!  Amen
