The Best Place!
"Immediately I [the apostle John] was in the Spirit;
and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat
on the throne."
Revelation 4: 2
The apostle John was exiled on the island of Patmos off the
coast of Asia Minor. On the Lord’s Day (Revelation 1:10) he
saw a vision of Jesus and wrote down letters from Christ to
the seven churches.
After he finished transcribing the letters, he found himself
“in the Spirit” (Revelation 4:2)—a state in which he began
seeing the worshipful glory of heaven.
Whenever we're fully committed to worshiping God in the
power of the Spirit, it becomes the perfect time for God to
speak to our hearts. In worship He reveals more of
Himself
to us through songs and Scriptures that praise Him in a
biblical fashion.
It was in such a state of worship as John began seeing
heaven as described in Revelation 4: “Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”
(verse 8) Granted, our worship on earth can’t compare
to worship in heaven, but it is the best place to begin.
As you worship the Lord, individually or corporately,
imagine what worship in heaven will be like one day.
"When we see even a small glimpse of
God’s holiness, we will bow in worship."
