BECAUSE
i was studying Revelations chapter 7 the other day, thinking about the worship songs the angels and saints were singing when i realized that those worship songs were different from what we tend to sing in north america today.
verse 10:
“Salvation belongs to our God,
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb.”
verse 12:
Praise and glory
and wisdom and thanks and honor
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!”
notice how God is praised so much more for who He is rather than what He’s done. and i got to thinking, God deserves our praise and worship simply because He is. even if He had never given us a way out of our sin, even if He was not the gracious and loving God He is, the simple fact that He is so beyond us warrants praise from us. so if that’s where we start, how much MORE does He deserve our praise in light of the gift of Jesus Christ!
