Would you like to worship like you’re already in heaven?
After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, ‘Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!’ Revelation 7:9-10
Mighty God,
Open our eyes,
that we may truly see the magnificent worship
taking place in heaven.
Engage our hearts
that we might worship you today in our churches
as a foretaste of the day
we will worship you eternally
with all of the saints.
When we peek into heaven with John,
the author of Revelation,
we see “a great multitude”—
what an encouragement in a day
when it seems so few want to worship you.
In heaven, the deacons couldn’t even count the attendance.
Who are these people?
They are people
from Uganda and Ukraine,
Mexico and Monaco,
Cambodia and Côte d’Ivoire,
people from every country A to Z,
who speak every language ever spoken.
What do they do?
With the angels
and the elders
and the other living creatures,
they fall on their faces
before the throne,
worshiping you.
What do they say?
“Amen!
Blessing and glory and wisdom
and thanksgiving and honor and power and might
be to our God forever and ever!
Amen” (Revelation 7:12).
Oh, Lord, may this true story of worship
change our worship today.
In Jesus’ worthy name. Amen.
Read Revelation 7.
