Let’s give glory and honor to God now…
Vision from Book of Revelation (Photo credit: cliff1066™)
Gift: Knowledge – With the gift of knowledge, we understand the meaning of God’s Revelation, especially as expressed in the life and words of Jesus Christ. A person with knowledge is always learning more about the scriptures and Tradition.
Reading: “Worthy are you, Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things; because of your will they came to be and were created.” (Revelation 4:11)
Observation: Although this verse is quoting the 24 elders that fell don in worship of God in John’s Revelation, shouldn’t we all be taking this attitude toward the God who is completing the work of salvation in us. Rather than try to figure out exactly who the 24 elders are, I decided that giving glory and honor and power that rightly belong to God to Him who is still completing his work of salvation in me, is a better way to spend this post.
Personification: Faithfulness. It is only by giving up my selfish ambitions to understand the mind of God and following the lead of all the great saints that came before me, by giving glory and honor and power to the God who has saved me, that I can experience the fruit of faithfulness in my life.
Prayer: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end…Amen!

I enjoyed reading your “Let’s give glory and honor to God now…” post. I agree that we are all to take that attitude of worship, along with the 24 elders, as you said, “Giving glory and honor and power that rightly belong to God to Him who is still completing his work of salvation in me.” Amen, brother in Christ. Amen.
