SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 04/10/2005
My Worship Time Focus: The Father’s Throne
Bible Reading &
Meditation Reference: Revelations 4:2
Message of the verse: “At once I was in the Spirit, and there
before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.” (NIV)
“And instantly I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne in heaven and
someone sitting on it!” (NLT)
In verse
one John was transferred to heaven, and now he says that he was in the Spirit,
and this is the second time John has used this term the other time was in the
first chapter of Revelations, where he said that he was “in the Spirit on the Lord’s
Day.” John was completely controlled by
the Holy Spirit. The first thing that
John saw was a throne in heaven and he saw someone sitting on this throne. A throne certainly represents power and the
One who was sitting on this throne has absolute power over all things for He is
the Creator of all things. This is the
throne of God the Father and John had a difficult time describing this scene
using human language so he would use similes and metaphors to describe it.
Spiritual meaning for my life today: I would imagine that the first thing that
John wanted to do was to fall on His face and worship the Heavenly Father who
was seated on His throne after he saw Him.
The book of Revelations has much to say about worship and how true
worship is actually going on in heaven all of the time. God has made me to worship Him and the more I
read about Him, and the more that I learn about Him the more desire I have to
worship Him more and more, and also to know that worshiping the Lord should be
at the center of everything I do.
The Word of God was refreshing to my heart as I read it this
morning.
My Steps of Faith
Today: To continue to learn more
about the Lord so that I can worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
