Holy, Holy, Holy...

~~~ Revelation 4: 1-11 ~~~ Psalm 150 ~~~ Luke 19: 11-28 ~~~

 

 

"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty,
who was, and who is, and who is to come."

 

Today we proclaim the omnipotence and omnipresence of God...

A timeless God...A God who is all that time is...

A God that conceived time in its fullest.

 

Our God is the most consistent reality in existence.

God is present to us today just as he was in the times of Moses.

God is present to us today just as he will be in future generations.

God never changes.

God is constant and reliable.

 

Today as we continue reading from the book of Revelation

 I am struck by the magnificent beauty described for us.

 

Thrones, crowns, precious stones, sparkling gems, and brilliant halos

create a scene beyond comprehension.

Filling out the glorious scene is the deafening sound of praise and thanksgiving

being exclaimed throughout the heavens.

 

"Worthy are you, Lord our God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things;
because of your will they came to be and were created."

 

Praising and thanking God for all of creation;

 for out of his goodness

everything was made.

 

 

There is a celebration going on in heaven, the likes of which

we have never experienced.

 

There is singing and dancing.

Trumpets and harp fill the air with their joyous sounds.

The dancers twirl playing their tambourines.

As the music reaches a crescendo all of creation

joins in the dance of praise and song.

 

Holy, holy, holy Lord, mighty God!

 

The celebration continues for all of eternity.

For it is right to give him praise and glory.

 

As we prepare for our annual day of Thanksgiving let us rejoice

with all of creation.

The Lord God almighty is forever worthy of our praise.
