The Throne of God

Scripture:

Revelation 4:5  "From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder.  In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing.  These are the seven spirits of God".

Observation:

John describes the throne room of God in this passage.  It is just the beginning of his description, but it is enough for us to see the power and glory of that place.  God's throne is a place of incredible energy and power.  Lightning and thunder emanate from it.  The atmosphere is charged with electricity and power.

Application:

When we pray, we need to realize who we are praying to and the power that emanates from His presence.  We must realize that we are not praying to an insufficient God, but the all-sufficient God.  We must see His as He is and realize that He sits in a place of Great power.  When we see this, we realize that our problems are nothing for Him.  He can change our situations in a moment.  He can turn things around for us in a flash.  The throne shows us a picture of the power of God and when we pray, we must realize we are not just speaking useless words, but speaking to the all-powerful God.

Prayer:

Father, let me see You as You are.  Let me see Your glory.  Let me walk closely with You.  Help me to realize Your power.  Help me to see You as You are and realize that I have Almighty God as my Father.

Yours,
Jeff
