Month of Thanksgiving - Day 2

啟 4:9-11
9 每逢四活物將榮耀、尊貴、感謝歸給那坐在寶座上、活到永永遠遠者的時候,10 那二十四位長老就俯伏在坐寶座的面前,敬拜那活到永永遠遠的,又把他們的冠冕放在寶座前,說:11 “我們的主,我們的 神,你是配得榮耀、尊貴、權柄的,因為你創造了萬物,並且萬物是因你的旨意被創造而有的。”

Revelation 4:9-11
9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: 11 “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created.”


True spiritual worship is perhaps one of the greatest needs in our individual lives and in our churches. We as God’s people are called not only to be witnesses for Christ and to work for Christ, but also to worship Him.

The Book of Revelation is filled with hymns of praise. It is significant when you remember that John actually wrote this book to encourage people who were going through suffering and persecution!

The praise in Revelation 4:9-11 is given to the Father on the throne, the Creator of all things! You are not an accident. Your current circumstance is not an accident! Your life actually matters as you were created by the will of the eternal Creator for a special and glorious purpose!

Heaven is a place of worship, and God's people shall worship Him throughout all eternity. Perhaps it would be good for us to get in practice now, especially on this Lord’s Day today!
