Only One is Worthy of All Glory

SCRIPTURE
(Revelation 4:11) "Worthy art Thou, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for Thou didst create all things, and because of Thy will they existed, and were created."

OBSERVATION
John envisions the throne room of God and sees four living creatures and twenty-four elders around the throne. In this time and place they fall on their faces before Him and begin to chant how worthy God is.

APPLICATION
When we enter the throne room of God through our praise and worship, the focus should be all upon God and who He is. To focus upon ourselves and ask for personal needs in this time and place of worship and holiness is sacrilegious and out of order. To make personal requests here is to exalt yourself to a position of priority. There is no one, except God, who is worthy of all focus and attention. Don't pollute holy worship with self-gratification. There is a time to make your requests known to God, and there is a time to focus solely upon Him.

PRAYER
Lord, Your word says You know what I want and need even before I ask. I trust Your provision and desire to come to this holy place of total worship and focus on You alone. You are holy and righteous and worthy of all praise and honor.
