He is worthy

Rev 5:11-14 Then I looked, and I heard around the throne... the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!" And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!" And the four living creatures said, "Amen!" and the elders fell down and worshiped.

Sometimes it almost seems sacrilegious to comment on what the scripture already says. Sometimes it seems vain to try to find words to express what that truth does in your heart. He is worthy of more love and devotion and worship than we could ever begin to give. We want to question Him every time things don't go just the way we think they should, but we take for granted the riches of His goodness in our lives every day. We are surrounded by objects of wonder. This very body we live in is magnificent beyond words. The beauty of the land, the sky, the sea... they are all so awesome. And it all works together. All of creation is this grand system that is interwoven like a beautiful symphony. I reach for words, for a picture, and I just cant quite get it right. Maybe its my limited abilities of communication, or maybe words just can't do it all justice. I am reminded again of the words of Leonard Ravenhill. "The highest form of worship is speechless adoration."

But I want to share that wonder, that awe, that worship. I want to share it with anyone who cares to see and know and experience the greatness of our God. And that is part of the wonder. His love poured into our hearts.

Lord... you are so good.
