(repeat from 2012)
SCRIPTURE: Revelation (NIV) 14:1 Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.
2 And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps.
3 And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No-one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.
OBSERVATION: Our God, who has created such variety in the world around us, must also enjoy variety in music. It seems to me that every generation has its own music. The phrases “roar of rushing waters” and “a loud peal of thunder” to describe “harpists playing their harps” tells me that the volume will be so loud we will feel it.
APPLICATION: I expect to be amazed at the variety of music in heaven. Some music will include me. Some I may listen in as others sing their special songs. But I will enjoy all of the music, because it will be honoring and worshipping the One who provided for my salvation! It will be all about HIM!!!
PRAYER: Lord, may my days be filled with worshipping you. When I arrive in heaven, may I not be a stranger to worship! May it be a continuation of my life now. Amen.
