Day 207
Revelation 4:9-11
"And when those beasts give glory and honor and thanks to Him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
The four and twenty elders fell down before Him that sat on the throne, and worship Him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne saying,
Thou art worthy, 0 Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: For thou hast created all things and for thy pleasure they are and were created."
John wrote in Revelation 4:9, "And when...." He told how 24 elders fell down when the beasts gave glory and honor and thanks. This was not a ritual or a routine - this was a reaction.
When we give glory and honor and thanks properly to Him who sits on the throne, it will cause a reaction among true worshipers. We must learn this, so we can measure our levels or quality of worship. If we read on in Chapter 5 of Revelation, we will find the 24 elders falling down in worship in the presence of Jesus (verses 6,7,8) and in response to the praise of Him (verses 11,13,14).
Let us ask God to give us a revelation of His glory and splendor. When we begin to see Him more as He is, we, too, will worship out of reaction, instead of a ritual or routine.
I will receive more of a revelation of God's glory and splendor and worship Him more adequately.
