FOR HE ALONE IS WORTHY

Once again all eyes are focused on the athletes in the throes of Olympics 2012.  It is where the best of the best compete against each other, with one goal in mind – Winning!  Athletes are celebrated and praised.  Spectators eat up information on their favourite pick to win, stirring their passions.  They deem who is worthy of their praise and do so with enthusiastic gusto.  They cheer, scream, jump and spin as they celebrate the chosen recipient of praise. 

As I sit reading through chapter 5 of Revelation, the question arises, who is really worthy?  Who can boast to being truly worthy of praise?  The song of the angels says “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and praise!” (Rev 5:12).  Friends, I am not suggesting that cheering on our athletes or team is wrong; not at all.  What I am saying is that God is even more deserving of our biggest praises. He is the One who sits on the throne, with Jesus, The Lamb, beside Him.   He is the one worthy.  May we be ready to chorus with the angels”… Be praise and honour and glory and power for ever and ever!” (Rev.5: 13) with enthusiasm and great delight!  Let us praise Him today!
