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...

Love's Pure Light

"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12 I have a confession.  I have been more than a little 'bah humbug' this year. I don't really know why. We are settled in our new house this year. Grandkids have come and gone and are still coming and going. It's been a beautiful, tropical Florida Christmas season. We did a great program at our church. And, yet, I'm just not feelin' it...  Until tonight. Tonight was our annual Christmas Eve candlelight service at church. It is undeniably one of my favorite services every year and is always packed. Tonight was no different.  During the weeks leading up to the holiday, our pastor has been preaching a series of sermons called "The Light of Christmas" from the first chapter of John. Our Christmas musical was also themed around the light. And tonight, I saw the light. Because I was singing with our Praise...

Devotion to Prayer

"Devote yourselves to prayer; stay alert in it with thanksgiving." Colossians 4:2 Prayer has never come naturally to me. I have always felt awkward in prayer for some reason. Over the past year, I have finally come to the conclusion that in all my years as a Christian, I have never really learned how to communicate with God properly. Not that I haven't made valiant efforts. I have had beautiful prayer journals. Sections for specific days and topics. I have written out my prayers (I still believe that helps me concentrate). I've used all the acronyms and prayer plans. But in the end, I look at it all and think, "If one of my friends communicated with me this way, I would toss them out the door." Some days I feel all I do is bring my wish list to God - admirable though it may be - and ask and ask and ask. For now, I'm done with asking. Color me ecstatic when I learned our little Bible study between online Bible studies was going to be on prayer! ...
