Worthy

Revelation 4:11 Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created. #Bible

First it needs to be mentioned here that the whole chapter needs to be read to get an understanding of what is being said and done.
Those who are worshiping and praising God are the living creatures, and the twenty four elders.
I can't help but sense that a fresh realization has taken the twenty four elders, that all of this is real and it is Jesus sitting on the throne next to God our Father. That it is actually true, Jesus is our Lord and our God.
Upon and after receiving their crowns of glory they take the crowns off their heads and lay them at the foot of the Throne of God and proclaim He who lives forever and ever is worthy of all Glory Honor and Power. Again now they understand that our Lord Jesus does possess Glory Honor and Power, that He lives forever and ever just like the Father.
As human beings they are eye witnesses of this creation and by the Lord's will all was created by Jesus and all exists even to this day by his Power Glory and Will.
Being human we tend to become use to things, even important things and we forget just how real our human condition is subject to something much greater than ourselves. Even though God created everything through Jesus, yes even us, He has had a purpose in everything He does. Both the Father and the Son Jesus are still working and will continue until this age comes to an end.
We know the end of this age is ending soon, and we must all make sure we are right with God and pray and learn more about our Wonderful Jesus. Ask Jesus to be your friend, if He isn't already, and if He is, get closer to Him.

Sabbath

Psalm 118:24 This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. #Bible

Wow what a verse, what a Psalm. We are smack dab in the middle of David prophesying about our Savior Jesus. The gates of Righteousness have been opened, all who seek our Lord Jesus are welcome.
There is the idea that this Sabbath day was created by our Father God just for this day. But then isn't every Sabbath created in the same way? A gift from our God?
As we see David celebrating the coming of Messiah, shouldn't we be celebrating in the same way that the Messiah has come?
Unfortunately we being caught up in our daily lives with all of the issues and frustrations, we forget to remember the magnificence of our Holy God, the Father, our Jesus, even our Holy Spirit, our companion.
We need to return to spending our Sabbath in Holy reflection of who our God is, and ponder on His magnificence, and what He has done for us, and also in our lives, and this wonderful Grace God has given us to live in.
Fearfully we need to remember where we were and where many of our loved ones still are. Also the world that needs to hear the Gospel.
The Sabbath is a day of rest, worship, praising the Lord, reflection, and just to be at peace, knowing our God Loves us so much.
