Worship The Father

"I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."(Revelation 22:12-13)

Scripture Focus: Revelation 22

In its simplest form, the last book of the Bible, Revelation, is a promise from Jesus Christ to His Bride, the church of all His believers, that He will return for us. John, the beloved disciple of Jesus while He was on earth, was exiled to a remote Island, Patmos. "On the Lord's Day," he writes, "I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet...." (Rev. 1:10). John must have been worshiping Jesus that day, and was in such a place of intimacy with Him that Jesus freely spoke, giving instructions to write down the vision he was about to see. John, through worship, was in a place of listening.

Worship is all about adoration. The music, the building, the people sitting near you are all a part of worship, though not the focus. It's about where our heart is. When we truly step aside from the conflicts and demands of life and turn our eyes towards Jesus, we worship. As we hear Him say, "Behold, I am coming soon!" may our worship response be, "Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!"

Insight: Jesus challenged us to worship the Father in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24). Through worship, let's continue listening.
