Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Yes Friends, that’s why God created us; for His pleasure. We were wonderfully made so the Creator could delight in us. Though right now, I doubt He’s deriving any joy from our sinful, selfish, evil behaviour. Some days He must shake His head and wonder why He ever created us. But let’s bless and praise Him for it, cause if we’re going to spend eternity in surroundings like what John’s spirit got a taste of in Revelation 4., it’s certainly worthwhile. He saw heaven; the throne room, with a rainbow around God’s throne, with 24 elders arrayed in white garments and golden crowns sitting around Him. And from the throne came thunder and lightning and voices, with 7 lamps of fire burning before it, corresponding to the 7 Spirits of God. ‘And the spirit of God shall rest upon Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.’ (Isa.11:2) That’s Isaiah prophesying Jesus’ coming. A sea of glass rested in front of the throne and around it were four beasts with eyes in front and behind. One beast resembled a lion, another a calf, the third had a man’s face, and the fourth looked like a flying eagle. Each beast had six wings. Wow! Only our God could fashion such exotic creatures. And all they did, night and day, was sing, ‘Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.’ (Rev.4 :8) Nice work if you can get it. (smile) That’s how much they revere the Father, the Eternal Creator. And that’s not all Friends: ‘When those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever.’ (vs.9) The 24 elders fall on their knees and cast their crowns before the throne and worship the Father, saying, ‘Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power.’ Yes people! ‘Worthy is the lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.’ (Rev.5:12) ‘For thou hast created all things.’ Exactly! ‘In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.’ (Gen.1:1) ‘All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.’ (John 1:3) That says it all Friends: He who creates, deserves respect, honour and adoration. ‘And for thy pleasure they are and were created.’ Yuh got that right Friends! God made the world and all therein for His pleasure, not ours. But He’s such a wonderful Being, and LOVES us so much, we’re His #1creation, that He shares His other creations with us. All things exist because of His will. And yuh know Bruh Paul must have an opinion. ‘For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth,, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him. And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.’ (Col.1:16-17) Yes sir, Bruh Paul! Ah Friends, it’s good to be light-hearted, but with serious overtones. We’ve got to revere, worship and adore the One who created us, like those creatures and elders. That’s one of, if not the main reason He made man. And we’d be doing Him a major disservice, as well as spoiling our chances to experience heaven with Him. So let’s smarten up; do His will and accord Him the reverence and honour He deserves. Much LOVE!…worthy subjects…humble themselves…with joy…before their King…

Randolph,
Im sorry I havent seen your blog until now. As you stated above, it was His will I visit this page and I will be coming back to read more. I want to thank you for your perspective, I learned quite a bit and Im going to print this one and share it with my Bible study group when I get home in Sept. You see, I work on a Great Lakes ship and am away for 30 days at a shot. I would like it very much if you could felloship with me while Im at sea. I miss out on all that when Im here and I really do need it. I did start a Bible study with a few of the guys out here but lately we havnt done much. As far as my music is concerned, well, I play for our churches worship team when Im home on my 2 week break. I love it very much. Just so you know I dont always have internet out here due to the offshore distances we experience. I am able to get online almost every other day or even every day. Im using an AT&T internet card as Im also attending University online at Kaplan University. Im studying fo my Bachelors Degree in IT Network Administration and as of today I have about a 10 day school break until next semester. Lets keep in touch and I will add you as a friend and brother in Christ. God with us…
