READ Revelation 5
Jesus, the Lamb of God, is the focal point of worship in heaven.
 
INSIGHT
Into a scene of unspeakable glory in the throne room of heaven, enters Jesus, the Lamb of God. In a symbolic reenactment of His death and resurrection to provide atonement for the sins of mankind, Jesus captures the imagination of all heaven.
 
The throne room erupts in praise and adulation for the Son of God and Savior of the world. More than one hundred million angels break into songs of praise. They sing the song of the ages:
 
“Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever!” (Revelation 5:13).
 
PRAYER
Because the Lord’s victory over Satan is certain, we can rejoice and praise Him confidently:
Lord, there is no one like you!
For you are great, and your name is full of power.
Who would not fear you, O King of nations?
That title belongs to you alone!
Among all the wise people of the earth
And in all the kingdoms of the world,
There is no one like you.
But the Lord is the only true God.
He is the living God and the everlasting King!
The whole earth trembles at his anger.
The nations cannot stand up to his wrath
(Jeremiah 10:6-7, 10).
 
Pause for praise and thanksgiving. Pray this confession to the Lord as you seek to keep your life free from sin:
Let all that I am praise the Lord;
With my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.
Let all that I am praise the Lord;
May I never forget the good things he does for me.
Praise the Lord, everything he has created,
Everything in all his kingdom.
Let all that I am praise the Lord
(Psalm 103:1-2, 22).
 
Confess any sins that the Holy Spirit brings to your mind, and pray this affirmation to the Lord:
All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).
 
As you make your requests known to the Lord, include:

• Health and strength to serve Him
• For His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven
• Your activities for the day.

 
Finally, offer this prayer to the Lord:
Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again (1 Thessalonians 5:23).
