Singing Around the Throne

Creation: A Divine Cycle
Praise from and for God's Creation

All Creation Overflows With Praise

Revelation 5:11-14. The Message

11-14 I looked again. I heard a company of Angels around the Throne, the Animals, and the Elders—ten thousand times ten thousand their number, thousand after thousand after thousand in full song:
The slain Lamb is worthy!
Take the power, the wealth, the wisdom, the strength!
Take the honor, the glory, the blessing!
Then I heard every creature in Heaven and earth, in underworld and sea, join in, all voices in all places, singing:
To the One on the Throne! To the Lamb!
The blessing, the honor, the glory, the strength,
For age after age after age.
The Four Animals called out, “Oh, Yes!” The Elders fell to their knees and worshiped.

For Reflection

We live for the day the underworld sings!  We live for the day that each of us will become all that God has intended for us to become. Revelation,  the book of unrealized potential, the book of hope, beckons us to resolve our human fears and squabbles and celebrate our differences so that we may contribute our uniquenesses to the common good.


Pray

Celebrate your soul!  Thank God for our differences.  Pray prayers of praise and thanksgiving for the blessings of humanity.
