Dinner: Worthy is the Lamb

Revelation 5:11-14

11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. 12 In a loud voice they were saying:

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

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

    “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
    be praise and honor and glory and power,
    for ever and ever!”

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

I must confess that there is much written by John in the book of Revelation that I simply don't get. In fact, it would be even more accurate to say that most of it does not make sense to me. But the verses above speak to me loud and clear. Imagine it — ten thousand times ten thousand angels saying, "Worthy is the Lamb..." Then, every creature in heaven and earth saying, "...to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!"

How amazing it must have been for John to have this vision. What should our response be? I would think the same as the elders in verse 14 — fall down and worship. I encourage you to find a quiet place, right now, to fall down and worship Jesus, the Lamb of God. As we are reminded in this song, the Lamb is worthy of our worship.



During our dinner-time worship, praise God for Adam's amazing progress, yesterday (see Amy's post Giving God So Much Glory). Again, God's timing is not my timing...nor mine, His. I prayed that Adam would wow his parents over the weekend. It did not happen until Tuesday, but "Wow!" is what I have to say about his progress, yesterday.

After praising God for Adam's progress, go ahead and ask, once again, for Adam's complete healing. We are not ten thousand angels, but we are a group of believers, lifting our voices to God. Like the centurion, we are faithfully asking for a miraculous healing.

I will be breaking my fast, now, as I am going to attend a Christmas dinner at my father's rehab center. I will return for one more prayer time, this evening. Talk with you, then.
