Saturday - Revelation 5

Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they were saying:
"Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!" (Revelation 5:11, 12 NIV)

When I read a chapter like this it's hard to grasp the full picture...the power, the might, the strength, the Glory and praise exhaulted at the throne in Heaven. How are we able to offer ourselves to be disciples to our Lord Jesus and our God and His Kingdom as men on earth? We are so small, so full of sin, so meek and not bold in our faith. How can the reward be so great and yet we forget moment to moment to humble ourselves to the One who knows every hair on our head and to the One who perished on the cross and his blood washed away all sin? Grace is all powerful, too, yet men of the flesh continue to abuse it....
