Revelation Song

Today, I have little of my own to say. Over the past week, there has been a song that I can't get out of my head. Mainly, because three little girls kept singing it! It seems my daughter in law has a CD with "Revelation Song" on it and my granddaughters have decided it is one of their favorite songs - so they sang it this past week over and over...and over...and over. Tonight, as I thought about the scripture the song was derived from I realized, that is exactly what the angels aroung the throne were doing - singing His praise over and over again. The words to the song are from the book of Revelation. The title alone implies that God was revealing something about Himself to us. I'm just not sure we really get it...His holiness...His majesty...His glory. The rest of today's entry will be song lyrics and scripture. I would encourage you to meditate on the characteristics of God revealed in them and worship Him for who He is.

"Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come.
With all creation I sing praise to the King of Kings
You are my everything - and I will adore You."     Revelation Song

"Lift up your heads, O you gates;
be lifted up you ancient doors,
that the King of Glory may come in.
Who is this King of Glory?
The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O you gates;
Lift them up, you ancient doors,
That the King of Glory may come in.
Who is He this King of Glory - the Lord Almighty
                      He is the King of Glory"       Psalm 24:7-10

"Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty who was and is and is to come." Rev. 4:8

"You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things and by your will they were created and have their being." Rev. 4:11

"Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!" Rev. 5:12

"To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever!" Rev. 4:13

"The four living creatures said, 'Amen' and the elders fell down and worshipped." Rev. 4::14

Dear Lord - Give us such a revelation of Yourself today that there is nothing left for us to say but "Amen" and all we can do is fall down and worship. Thank You, Jesus.

Leaving Your Nets

Matthew 4:20 "AT ONCE they left their nets and followed Him (Jesus)."  Matthew 4:20 records the response of Peter and Andrew to the call of Jesus to be his disciples. They literally walked off the job and into ministry. We have the advantage of viewing this story with hindsight and the scripture, but Peter and Andrew were in the moment... Jesus was a hometown boy, a carpenter. He hadn't really started his ministry, yet. Surely he had been preaching in the area and the disciples knew what kind of man he was. But still... Fishing was a major industry around the Sea of Galilee and most fisherman belonged to family owned business. Can you imagine old Zebedee's face when somebody walked in his "office" and told him Peter and Andrew had taken off with the new preacher? How do you go home and tell your wife that you walked off the job for a ministry with no pay? How do you feed your kids? Their security was gone. Their income was gone. Possibly a few r

Inspired by Obedience

And He said to all, "If any would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me." Luke 9:23 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." Philippians 1:20 - 21 I have only known in my life one person that truly personified those verses. In 2009, one of our youngest, most energetic ministers was taken to the hospital emergency room with chest pain. He was healthy and athletic. He taught PE at our local high school. This trip to the hospital began a journey that would last the next three years and affect more lives than anyone could have ever anticipated. Mike Storter was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia. Mike immediately began treatments for his disease and for a short period during these years was considered cancer-free. It was a

Mono Diaries Lesson 1: Be Careful What You Pray For

I haven’t written in a long time and decided I would make the most of my time of confinement. The first quarter of two thousand eighteen has been a difficult and stressful one for my husband and I.  Dealing with issues related to aging parents has put a strain on us that we could not have anticipated. Wanting to do what is best for them, still do what is best for us, dealing with dementia, hospitalizations, nursing homes has been enough to create a level of stress that has taken a toll. On a particular week when we had been running back and forth to facilities, doctor appointments, and just trying to keep up with day to day responsibilities, I remember venting to the Lord in my quiet time and praying what I have come to see as a fateful prayer. I remember, probably a little resentfully, telling God that I wished I could have a day to just do nothing and read a book..... As of today, I have had FIFTEEN days to do nothing and read books. As a matter of fact, it is being encour
