“A thousand generations
falling down in worship,
To sing the song of ages to the Lamb.”
Holy Forever, Chris Tomlin
We were made to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. To worship and proclaim His glory with all of our lives, both here and beyond. This season, SIBKL Worship’s heart is centred on Throne Room worship – on worship that declares God’s worth, that calls for us to fix our eyes and hearts on Him, that pursues the beauty and intimacy of His holy presence.
Taken from Revelations 4 & 5, we get a glimpse of what is happening around the Throne of God – where God is seated, surrounded by 24 other thrones and 4 living beings at the center. From day to night, endless and eternal worship is lifted up to Him as all of Heaven declares: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is still to come.’
It is breathtaking. HE is breathtaking.
Worship in the Throne Room of God starts with beholding the One seated on the throne. I’ve always found it fascinating that “worship” comes from an old Anglo-Saxon word that means “worth-ship”; ascribing worth to something or someone. It’s a reminder that worship isn’t about us. It’s never been.
It’s about Him.
At a significant time when SIBKL is commemorating its 30th Anniversary, when many of us might be experiencing personal seasons of transition and turmoil, changes and challenges – may we continue to trust in the unchangeable and unshakeable truth of our God, turning our focus back to Him and beholding the One who deserves our praise.
Together, with the chorus of a thousand generations, in the song of ages as one people and one voice, may we do what we were born to do. Worship.
Would you join us, SIBKL? Soli Deo Gloria.
Glory to God alone.
