God Is Worthy of Our Worship Today! - Ruminating in the Word of God

The Lord iawe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, and majestic in his radiant splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saof him today anwhat came to my heart and mind in Revelation 7:9-12,

"After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice:
 
'Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.'
 
All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying:
   
'Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!'"
 
I'm sure we all have different viewpoints on what this and that means in the book of Revelation. I don't care too much about that when I get to these expressions of unabashed worship found in its pages! Here I see you and me, all of us who have been redeemed by Jesus Christ offering up praise and adoration to God along with these elders and four creatures. There is no question in my mind that one day you and I will be together with this tremendous throng worshipping our Lord together.
 
Why wait till then when the Lord has given us mouths to offer worship to him today? Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne and to the Lamb!! 

"Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!"
