ALL CREATION WORSHIPS HIM
In EPH. 2:6 writes that God has made us to sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Notice this is not just a future hope but a present reality. You may wonder at times how anything on this earth could be heavenly. Regardless of how things look around us, in Christ, God has granted us a heavenly position. Maybe, at least in part, that is what Jesus meant when he said, “I go prepare a place for you.” (JHN. 14:2)
There are many instances in scripture where ordinary people saw into the heavenly dimension. One such instance occurred when the shepherds saw and heard angelic beings proclaiming the birth of Christ. Stephen, the martyr, saw the Son of Man at the right hand of God and Isaiah saw the Lord in His holy temple. Most of us tend to view heaven as directional when in reality it is dimensional. Heaven is all around us.
As we worship we are joining thousands of other created beings. We are but one small part of creation that is worshipping its creator. We are but one small part of creation that is worshipping its creator. REV. 5:11-12 documents this creation worship “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.” Even the book of Psalms records various entities which are commanded to worship. The whole universe rings out with praise and adoration for its creator, and we have the awesome privilege of joining in.
Are you following God’s command to let everything that has breath praise the Lord? Ask God to give the heart of a worshipper.
