Good Morning!! "Time flies when you're having fun."
This cliché has no basis in fact, but experience makes it seem true.
When life is pleasant, time passes all too quickly. Give me a task that I
enjoy, or a person whose company I love, and time seems irrelevant. My experience of this "reality"
has given me a new understanding of the scene described in Revelation
4. In the past, when I considered the four living creatures seated
around God's throne who keep repeating the same few words, I thought, What a boring existence!
They do not rest day or night, saying: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!"—Revelation 4:8 (NKJV)
I don't think that anymore. I
think about the scenes they have witnessed with their many eyes (v.8). I
consider the view they have from their position around God's throne
(v.6). I think of how amazed they are at God's wise and loving
involvement with wayward earthlings. Then I think, What better response could there be? Like the song says," Our God is an Awesome God!" What else is there to say but, "Holy, holy, holy"? Is it boring to say the same
words over and over? Not when you're in the presence of the one you
love. Not when you're doing exactly what you were designed to do. Like the four creatures, we
were designed to glorify God. Our lives will never be boring if we're
focusing our attention on Him and fulfilling that purpose.
A heart in tune with God can't help but sing His praise.
To be a true worshiper is to fall in love with God,
the Author of love,
and accept the love He has for you.
"Returning good for good is human,...returning good for evil is divine."
