Heaven: The Throne of God
Thursday, January 8, 2026 – Day 6
Read Revelation 4:1-11
Key Verse:
“Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its
wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and
is, and is to come.” Revelation 4:8 (NKJV)
Key Reflection:
There is a throne in heaven. It is the place where the highest authority in all existence dwells, the rule of
the Almighty. “God is Almighty…God is past, present and future. The divine glory belongs to the God of
heaven.” 7 At the throne of heaven God is worshipped perpetually, consistently and eternally. And all glory
belongs to Him. It is the praise of His being. The Holy God receives glory, honor and praise.
Everything in heaven gives glory to God. Power and authority are attributed to God and only operates
within his providence. At the throne the Almighty God is worshipped.

Thought:
Worship is the order and central role in the book of Revelation.8 The praise of God’s glory should be
evident in God’s people. This is the will of God concerning us as we pray for God’s will on earth as it is in
heaven (Matthew 6:10). For those of us who desire to go to heaven we should be the forerunners in the
earth of those who glorify God. This kind of worship is both passionate and intimate for all of its
reverence to our God. We should speak well of the One who gave His life for us to gather in His name
and spend eternity with Him. It is because of Him that we know the power of grace and forgiveness. Our
God is to be worshipped, and this adoration should flow from our beings within our thoughts, words
and deeds.

Prayer:
God, I come to you in the name of Jesus to express that you are worthy to receive glory. I join the chorus
with the heavenly creatures who cry holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty. You are the One who was,
is and is to come. I join with the twenty and four elders who cry “You are worthy to receive glory and
honor and power. Worship, honor and glory are due to your name.” It is because of you that I am. I
willing give you glory because you are God, my God. I long for the day to worship you in eternity so I
seek to prepare myself for heaven as I worship you on earth. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Question:
Today, think about how you can express worship to the Lord your God today! Give the Lord glory!
