Your Will Be Done
Read Revelation 4
Rev 4:2-3 At once the
Spirit took control of me. There in heaven was a throne with someone sitting on
it. 3 His face gleamed like such precious stones as jasper and carnelian, and
all around the throne there was a rainbow the color of an emerald.
&
Rev 4:11 Our Lord and
God! You are worthy to receive glory, honor, and power. For you created all
things, and by your will they were given existence and life.
SUDDENLY the scene shifts. The current state of the church on
earth has been addressed. Now it’s time for John to see the heavenly realm.
This vision is the
first of two; the second is in Chapter 5. The two visions are about one truth:
the God who creates is the God, who redeems. He makes his purpose happen through
the crucified and risen Christ.
John sees the
heavenly realm. The glory and the majesty have also been described in Isaiah,
Ezekiel and Daniel. The purity of worship amid the glory of God is
unimaginable, incompletely described with mere words. Yes, there is only one
worthy to be the Lord of Creation—the Creator.
Then in the words
“on account of your will they were
created” we see a look into the future. And what we see is that God’s
will is the ultimate power in the universe. There is no doubt that his will shall be done.
This must be our
heartfelt prayer. We must willingly, lovingly submit our will to the Father’s
will. He is Lord your life, and I pray you are ready for the day God will
completely answer “Your will be done” at the end of the age.
A Moment’s Thought: God’s will is pleasing and perfect. (See
Romans 12:2)
