Text for the Day -- Revelation 4:1-2, 9-11
----------
After this I looked, and there in heaven a door stood open! And the
first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said,
'Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.'
At once I was in the spirit, and there in heaven stood a throne, with
one seated on the throne!
And whenever the living creatures give glory and honour and thanks to
the one who is seated on the throne, who lives for ever and ever, the
twenty-four elders fall before the one who is seated on the throne
and worship the one who lives for ever and ever; they cast their
crowns before the throne, singing,
'You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honour and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they existed and were created.'
Devotional
----------
John's vision, inspired by the Holy Spirit, describes the glory of
God and the Lamb. God's presence calls forth praise and blessing from
those around the throne. Such worship is the response called for when
one becomes conscious of God's presence. Too often God's presence is
taken for granted as well as God's care for the world. Awaken your
gratitude by living in conscious awareness of God's presence.
Prayer
----------------
I do praise and bless you, my God and Savior, and desire to be aware
always of your nearness. Amen
