Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
"You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.”
Revelation 4:9-11 NIV
It's always nice to get a peak into heaven. One of the special aspects of the Revelation of John is that we are shown a little bit of heaven and here we are shown what happens around the throne. It's easy to forget that God's view is eternal and ours is temporal. It is essential that we periodically stop and remember just how awesome the God we serve is.
He is holy.
He is Almighty.
He is eternal. (See verse 8)
He is our Lord and our God. May our lives bring him glory, honor and may his power be revealed in and through us.
What's awesome, from our perspective, is that the truth is that not only did he create all things by his will and give them being but also:
He create you,
It was by his will you were created,
And by his will you have your being!
Now that's awesome! That's why we praise and will praise God for all eternity...
