“Get Lost In Worship”
Revelation 4:8-11 NIV
Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and is, and is to come.” Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say: “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”

One of my favorite worship songs on Air1 Radio is “No One Like The Lord”. Jenn Johnson and Bethel Music play this and every time I hear it, I picture the scene in Revelation where all the creatures and elders bow before the Throne. This song always gives me chills, especially the build up of the bridge into the final chorus.

This song just fills my heart and is an amazing picture of the worship before the Throne of God! How often, during our days and weeks do we get so caught up in everything going on around us and we lose focus on what truly matters most? Our families are very important, but there is absolutely nothing more important than coming to the Throne of God in complete worship and just letting go and letting God be in control. Bringing it all to the Cross and just worshipping Him.

I absolutely love the imagery and scene of worship before Holy God! In the past several months as God has brought me from depression into more realization of how amazing He is and how amazing His gift of life really is, I am in awe of Him and I just am amazed that we have such a privilege to worship Him.

Just like the song says, there is no one like the Lord. He is truly worthy of praise and all glory. I invite you to bring the song up on YouTube and just listen to the words and be brought into complete worship. Every time this song comes up the radio, I want to crank it up, especially in the last build up and chorus. It’s just so very powerful!

As I’ve been thinking so much lately about this song and the scene in Revelation of the amazing worship before the Throne, it fills me with awe of God! I’ve always been into music and it just stirs my soul in an unexplainable way! The music I’ve gotten into on Air1 in the past few months God has truly used to refresh my heart, mind and soul. It’s like I’m falling in love with Jesus all over again and it feels great!

This morning in church, as we were singing, I just kept thinking, “God it feels great to be in worship to You through this music!”. Just let yourself get lost in worship. Come before His Throne and just worship!

Rev 4:6-11

Lightning’s, thundering and voices are that of the glory of God in all His power and authority. There are seven lamps of fire burning before the throne which are the seven spirits that are the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord found in Isaiah 11:2. The seven spirits of God are given to the seven churches in the beginning of Revelation as the seven churches are representative of all who are in Christ to stay inline with the will of God.

The sea of glass that is liken unto crystal before the throne of God symbolizes Gods holiness and purity as in Exodus 24:10 where God is revealed in all his glory to the people of Israel and in Ezekiel 1:22-28 Ezekiel saw a vision of Gods throne. It's a place in our mind of peace and restful assurance in the presence of Gods full glory as we see him in all power and authority. God is our safe haven during times of persecution during the trials and tribulations we face as we always have the victory over Satan and his temptations, especially during the time of Gods wrath and the mark of the beast.

The four beasts around the throne are Seraphim that have six wings. Two wings to fly with, two wings to cover their feet and two wings to cover their faces. They fly around the throne of God singing his praises as they call attention to Gods attributes, Isaiah 6:1-3. The first beast was like a lion that represents Gods majesty and omnipotence. The second beast was likened unto an ox which is typical of faithful labor and patience. The third beast had a face of a man that indicates Gods intelligence and the fourth beast had a face like an eagle that represents supreme sovereignty. They give glory and honor and thanks to God who sits on his throne as only he alone is worthy of praise.

The twenty four elders around the throne of God cast their crowns before the throne as they give praise, glory and honor to God. The crowns they lay down are the crowns of glory as they are the head of worship and praise to God in heaven. The earthly elders or pastor are given a crown of glory as they hold the office of leadership over the members that make up the body of Christ. It is their leadership through the Holy Spirit that helps to teach us about God through his word. Theirs is the greatest judgment for what proceeds out of their mouth, 1 Peter 5:1-5.
