Holding Faith

One woman's spiritual journey through life, hanging on to faith in her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the author and finisher and perfecter of that faith. " . . . that by them you may wage the good warfare, holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have made shipwreck of their faith . . . " (I Timothy 1: 18c, 19; ESV)

And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, 

 "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,
who was and is and is to come!"

And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 

"Worthy are you, our Lord and God, 
to receive glory and honor and power, 
for you created all things, 
and by your will they existed and were created."

Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders 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."


~ Revelation 4: 8 - 11, 5: 11 - 14 (ESV)

Do you long for the day when you join with the heavenly host to praise and worship God continually?  Our worship here on earth can be wonderful and exciting, but it comes from our sinful hearts.  What a day it will be when we see God's face and worship Him in heaven!
 
"No longer will there be anything accursed, 
but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, 
and his servants will worship him. 
They will see his face, 
and his name will be on their foreheads. 
And night will be no more. 
They will need no light of lamp or sun, 
for the Lord God will be their light, 
and they will reign forever and ever."
~ Revelation 22: 3 - 5 (ESV)

Holding Faith,
