Month of Praising - Day 26

Rev.4:8-11
8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!” 9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: 11 “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.”

True spiritual worship is perhaps one of the greatest needs in our individual lives and in our churches. We as God’s people are called not only to be witnesses for Christ and to work for Christ, but also to worship Him.
The Book of Revelation is filled with hymns of praise. It is significant when you remember that John actually wrote this book to encourage people who were going through suffering and persecution! The praise in Revelation 4:9-11 is given to the Father on the throne, the Creator of all things! You are not an accident. Your current circumstance is not an accident! Your life actually matters as you were created by the will of the eternal Creator for a special and glorious purpose!
Heaven is a place of worship, and God's people shall worship Him throughout all eternity. Perhaps it would be good for us to get in practice now, especially during the Christmas season!

啟 4:8-11
8 四活物各有六個翅膀，遍體內外都滿了眼睛。它們晝夜不住地說：“聖哉！聖哉！聖哉！主 神是昔在、今在、以後永在的全能者！” 9 每逢四活物將榮耀、尊貴、感謝歸給那坐在寶座上、活到永永遠遠者的時候，10 那二十四位長老就俯伏在坐寶座的面前，敬拜那活到永永遠遠的，又把他們的冠冕放在寶座前，說：11 “我們的主，我們的 神，你是配得榮耀、尊貴、權柄的，因為你創造了萬物，並且萬物是因你的旨意被創造而有的。”

對於今天的教會和個人來說，也許最需要的是真實屬靈的敬拜。作為 神的兒女，我們不僅僅被召來與 神同工並成為耶穌基督的見證人，我們更是被召來敬拜這位偉大的 神！
啟示錄是一本充滿了讚美的書。這實在是一件了不起的事情，因為作者約翰寫這本書是為了安慰那些當時在逼迫和患難中的基督徒！今天的經文中特別描寫了對 神作為一個全能創造者的敬拜和讚美！你我的存在不是一個偶然，乃是因着這位偉大的 神的旨意被創造而有的，我們目前的遭遇也不是偶然！我們的人生在 神的手中有特別的意義和榮耀的價值！
天堂是一個充滿讚美的地方，神的子民將在那裡敬拜我們的神直到永遠永遠！那麼，今天就讓我們在這個聖誕的季節將我們的敬拜和讚美來歸給坐寶座的神！
