Revelation 4 - Find Hope and Overcome through Praise and Proclamation | Day 2

April 14, 2020

Chapter four of Revelation gives us insight into the scene around God’s throne. John says, “immediately he was in the Ruach (Spirit)” and he began to see this eternal reality and scene of worship around God’s throne! Look at what John sees:

“The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes all around and within. They do not rest day or night, chanting,

‘Kadosh, kadosh, kadosh
Adonai Elohei-Tzva’ot,
asher haya v’hoveh v’yavo!


Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God of Hosts,
who was and who is
and who is to come!’

And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to the One seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before the One seated on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. And they throw their crowns down before the throne, chanting,

‘Worthy are You, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
For You created all things,
and because of Your will
they existed and were created!’”

          —Revelation 4:8-11 TLV

What an incredible reality and scene! John says the angels and elders around God’s throne never cease to say that He is Holy, the elders submit to His authority by casting their crowns, and then they proclaim His sovereign rule over all things. I think that we can find hope and ways to overcome difficulty in this life by following the above passage.

  1. Seek things above, where Messiah is seated (Colossians 3:1)
  2. Focus our minds on things above, not on things on the Earth (Colossians 3:2)
  3. Now that our minds are focused on things above, we are ready to join with the heavenly host and PRAISE and PROCLAIM that He is Holy and Worthy
  4. Finally, don’t miss this key example from the elders in Heaven: they submit to God’s sovereign rule over all things

If you find yourself with anxiety, fear or uncertainty during these times then follow the example above! Let’s focus our minds on Him so that we can praise and proclaim His holiness even in trying times.

Now take some time to carefully reflect on the questions below and journal your answers.

  1. What is God saying through His Word?
  2. What is God saying to me?
  3. How should/can I respond?
