Chris Tomlin - Holy Roar: Live From Church Devotional Sample

Chris Tomlin - Holy Roar: Live From Church Devotional

DAY 4 OF 5

Chris Tomlin “Holy Roar” Devo

Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: ‘To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!’” Revelation 5:13 (NIV)

Revelation paints a beautiful picture of what heaven will be like when it talks about thousands upon thousands of angels gathered around the throne of God singing, “Holy, holy, holy.” Can you imagine the sound? Can you imagine how loud it must be? It must sound something like a roar…a holy roar, dedicated to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

The Bible tells us that one day every tribe, every tongue and every nation will bow down before the Lord. Picture that. Every country, every language, every ethnicity around the world represented in a colorful, vibrant chorus worshipping the name that is above every other name. And the best part? We have an open invitation to join this choir.

Friends, God wants you to be a part of that choir—not just in heaven, but here on earth. While we will one day worship the Lord in one accord for eternity, we have the opportunity right now to praise Him with our fellow brothers and sisters. And I think this picture of what heaven will actually look like should inspire us to intentionally make our worship here on earth more diverse. 

Music is a unifying force, and worship music, in particular, unites us around the One who has created all people in His image. Music levels the playing field and reveals that we are far more alike than we are different. Heaven happens right here and now on this planet every time we stand shoulder to shoulder with our fellow man and praise our Father.

God is inviting you to be a part of His choir. Will you be a part of the holy roar? 

A holy roar

Reaching for Heaven

Our praise poured out

With reckless abandon

Our worship God

Is wholly Yours
