Podcast 54.6 Transcript
Welcome to Thursday Thoughts at Resonant 7, where we reflect on the reality of God and resolve to let it resound in our lives, repeatedly. Let’s think about this.
All creation, join in praising
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, Revelation 5:13 ESV
“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”
We read these words from John in his heavenly vision. It will happen. All the creatures praising. And we also read in other passages where the creation itself is ever declaring His handiwork. Are you being intentional about playing your part?
God, the Father, Spirit, Son,
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 ESV
Here in this oft quoted Christmas prophecy, we see different representations of our Triune God, Son, Counselor (Spirit), and Everlasting Father. God is Father, Spirit, Son and we are invited to come and worship Him. Extend the invitation to join us to everyone with ears to hear.
Evermore your voices raising
Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. Hebrews 13:15 ESV
There will be no end to the praise we offer around His glorious throne, but we must rehearse our eternal occupation here and now. We should always be lifting our voices to acknowledge His name. Use your lips to give Him glory today, then never stop!
To th’eternal Three in One.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Matthew 28:19 ESV
And herein lies the purpose of our vocal praise, translating into our living the message which declares the worth of our eternal God. We will praise Him around the throne, but we must do so now in a way that allows others to see Him. Are you engaged in such winsome praise?
Take a few moments to talk to Jesus about what has come to your mind, or listen to what He is saying to you, then I will read our text once more.
All creation, join in praising
God, the Father, Spirit, Son,
Evermore your voices raising
To th’eternal Three in One.
Come and worship, come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
Take the awareness of God’s presence cultivated in these last few minutes into the next ones and beyond. Until next time, be Resonant.
