50 Days of Praise - Day 21: Revelation 5:6-14 (October 27) Worthy Is the Lamb

If you have been redeemed, your destiny is to join the heavenly choir singing the praises of the one who is worthy. Of course, Jesus is worthy of all things, but it is helpful to remember that here he is being praised as worthy to open the scroll and judge the world. 

Today’s Reading -  Revelation 5:6-14

 And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne. 8 And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song, saying,

“Worthy are you to take the scroll
    and to open its seals,
for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God
    from every tribe and language and people and nation,
10 and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God,
    and they shall reign on the earth.”

11 Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice,

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and blessing!”

13 And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,

“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”

14 And the four living creatures said, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.

Praise the Lord

Of course, God hears your private prayers and your praise, but there is a blessing that comes when you voice your praise for others to hear. "Extol the Lord." That's what the Bible says. The comments are open if you wish to give God praise and thanksgiving that might bless us all.
