PASTORS' DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Whole-lived out worship!

Rod Shimabukuro

Scripture

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, "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!" Revelation 5:13

Observation

The 4 living creatures, elders, millions of angels, all the living creatures are involved with giving worship the God - the Lamb. John emphasizes the Lamb of God, consistent with the cry of John the Baptist...who takes away the sins of the world. This Lamb of God fulfills the sacrifice for all sins, unlike the the ongoing need for sacrifices made for sins under the old covenant.

Jesus is still acknowledged in heaven as the Lamb of God, recognized as worthy to be worshipped by ALL Creatures!

Application

The more I read Revelations, the more I’m getting it. Getting that Jesus is the focus! He is the focal point of my worship! I get so caught up at times with the tasks of setting up the tabernacle, preparing for weekend services, ramping up to serve God’s people. I tend to focus on how we can improve services, improve our serve for the valuable people of NHO.

I am convicted in my heart of not giving Jesus my full worship. I get so easily distracted by the stuff I need to do - that I drift from the purpose of who I’m living and doing everything for!

Prayer

Dear Jesus,
Forgive me for not worship You with my Whole Heart! I want to give You whole hearted worship. In fact, I want my worship to You - Lamb of God - to be lived out through all I am and all I do! You are so kind!
