Worthy of Worship

Revelation 5:12, "In heaven the angels and the living creatures and the twenty-four elders sing this song, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!"

What is worship? How could we define it? Worship is adoration, reverence, regarding someone with the utmost love and with a deep respect tinged with awe. Worship and praise are different from thanksgiving. We are thankful to God for His gifts to us, but we worship and praise Him, not for His gifts, but for Who He is--for His attributes and characteristics. We worship God because He is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, Creator, Redeemer, holy, righteous, truthful, just, full of grace and goodness, loving, forgiving, merciful, kind. We worship Him because, as great and glorious and magnificent as He is, amazingly He loves us.

Worship will be the primary activity in heaven. Revelation 5:13, "Then every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them will sing, 'To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever!'" Is our God worthy of our worship? Indeed!!!!!!

Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, I worship and praise and adore You. I honor You for Your greatness and Your goodness and Your love. Amen.
