A Heavenly Example of Worship

Revelation 7:11 “All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,”

John writes about what he sees on his visit to heaven and he sees several spectacular scenes of worship. For instance, seven different passages are considered doxologies.  

What is it to worship? Worship is to count as worthy.  Worship comes from the old English word of “worth-ship.”  When one is worshipping they are placing value and honor and most of all expressing reverence and adoration. Worship can have a person standing in awe or bowing physically in humble adoration. Here in Revelation 7:11, we read of them physically falling on their faces.  As well, worship may be demonstrated verbally as one seeks to ascribe the praise God is so worthy of receiving. For instance, in verse 12 we read of the verbal worship as they say: “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen.” 

Worship can be expressed with our posture and with our praise.  

Do you take time daily to worship? First thing in the morning one should begin their day with giving worship to God.  

A tip I would give you is to pray through the Lord’s prayer when you first wake up.   Just saying “Our Father, who is in Heaven, Holy is Your name,” will fix your mind and heart on God.   Then for your quiet time, I would encourage you to read a Psalm. Utilize the Internet to listen to a hymn or a praise and worship song.

Continue Strong,
And remember to DATE the Word
