January 18 – The Throne Room (pt. 1)
Revelation 4:1-11

As much as I can take you on a walk through the Throne Room described in Revelation 4, it would be much better for you to open your Bible and read Rev. 4:1-11 on your own. Click on the passage and your computer should also take you to a link of this as well.

We see the majesty of the mountains, the glory of a sunrise, the excitement of waves crashing on a seashore, the beauty of a forest, we hear the sounds of beautiful music and taste the richness of flavors, we touch a child’s face and walk through a flower garden immersed in the scents. None of these things compares to the experience that we will have in the throne room of God!

Before we enter this place so holy, though, we need to take a moment to remember how very unworthy we are to be there. The only thing way that we have any right to come before God on His throne is because of the sacrifice of the Lamb.

Psalm 8 perfectly describes the feelings that I have as I come to this place in the Revelation. Unimaginable glory with a sense of my own unworthiness.

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory above the heavens.

From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?

You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.

You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

The Lord’s name is majestic – in all the earth. We are not worthy of His attention, yet it is because of His great love for us that Jesus came to earth and offered His life. This act allows us entrance to the throne room.
