If we don't, the stones will.

I was reading my Bible the other day, well actually this was a while back... but nonetheless I was reading it, and I got to Revelation chapter 4. Now this might get a little deep for a blog post but just bear with me and i'll try and make it quick.


Revelation 4:6 says, "And around the throne were four living creatures (beings) who were full of eyes in front and behind [with intelligence as to what is before and at the rear of them]." Verse 8 goes on to say, "And the four living creatures, individually having six wings, were full of eyes all over and within [underneath their wings]..." (I think it's safe to say these guys could see everything, everywhere.) "...and day and night they never stop saying, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, Who was and Who is and Who is to come." 


So these four creatures, (it says what type of creatures they are but i skipped that part for attention span purposes), are covered in eyes. From this we can know they see, have seen, and will see everything that happens. And it says they NEVER stopped saying Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty. Other translations say they chanted, or sang, as in worship. In other words these guys can see the past, the present, what's ahead, and the inmost parts of themselves, and all they ever do, without rest, is worship. 


How many times do we allow ourselves to be discouraged and condemned by past offenses covered by grace, failing to realize that they are some of the strongest calls to worship themselves. How often do we look at our current situation and choose not to worship because we don't currently, with our human eyes, see God's hand in it. Why do we become intimidated by our inward temptations, and outwards sins, forgetting our rights as Children of God to come before Him "with freedom and without fear" (Ephesians 3:12). Our worship is powerful. Not only affecting us, but those around us. Revelation 4:10 says whenever they worshipped, the entire Heavenly Sanhedrin "fall prostrate before Him Who is sitting on the throne, and they worship Him Who lives forever and ever."


There is no reason worthy of denying Him  our worship. If we don't, the stones will.
